Note 1 | Remarks by Bosius on Cicero's letters to Atticus. |
Note 2 | Plantin published in 1582 Bosius's edition of Cicero's letters to Atticus (cf. no. cp013414). He must have had the idea to print with it Bosius's Animadversiones on the letters to Atticus, but for some reason postponed the project (on the title-page of the 1582 text-edition reference is made to the Animadversiones, this 1582-edition contains also Bosius's dedicatory to Philippus Huraltus, which is lacking in the 1585-publication, although mention of Huraltus is made on the title-page). |
Note 3 | Reprint from the edition of Limoges, Apud Hugonem Barbou, 1580 (cf. Brunet, II, Column 48; see also no. 955). The manuscript text of the Animadversiones is preserved in Bibliothèque nationale de France (Lat. 8538 A). |
Note 4 | The work was printed in Leiden. A number of copies received a title-page with Plantin's Antwerp imprint. |
Note 5 | 'Simeonis Bosii Animadversiones in Epistolas Ciceronis, in 8⁰' figures on the list of his editions printed at Leiden, a copy of which Plantin presented to the Leiden magistrate on 2 January 1585 - the copy now in Leiden University Libraries (cf. E. Hulshoff Pol, 'Boucken op 't secreet. Plantijndruk- ken op het raadhuis te Leiden' in Leids Jaarboekje, 1972, page 92). The publication was, consequently, already finished in 1584 (cf. also immediately below). |
Note 6 | Listed in M 296, folio 2r (Bosii Simeonis animadversiones in ep[isto] las ad Atticum, 8⁰, a⁰ 84, f[euilles] 13½, [price:] stuivers 4), M 164, folio 4r, and M 321 (f[euilles]: 15½ - an error for f[euilles] 13½; sub 1584). It must normally have been sold together with the 1582 text-edition (cf. no 955). |
