| Note 2 | Plantin originally had the intention to print the complete works of Cicero with the annotations of Fulvius Ursinus, which he received through the intermediary of Cardinal Madrutius (Corr., VI, no. 810; September [?] 1578). The De officiis libri III…was to be the first volume of the series - and the only one which was actually achieved. In the letter to Buyssetius, 10 December 1579 (Corr., VI, no. 851, page 115), the 'Opera Ciceronis cum notis D. Fulvii Ursini in 8⁰' are listed among the publications Plantin was printing at that moment. On 12 December 1579 the typographer tells Cardinal Granvelle: 'Je poursui entre autres l'impression des oeuvres de Cicero in 8⁰ avec les notes dudict Sr. Fulvius Ursinus desquelles les Offices sont achevees et les Epistres ad Atticum commencees avec espoir de ne discontinuer qu'elles ne soyent achevees' (Corr., VI, no. 853). On 31 January 1580, he gives some completive information to Janus Dousa (Corr., VI no. 860): '…Ciceronis omnia e quibus Officia sunt absoluta sed Annotationes doctorum virorum […] nondum inchoatae. Eas autem separatim imprimemus in singula opera (in duos libris) uti in Sallustio fecimus et nunc in Terentium atque Virgilium…'. On 4 August 1580 Plantin still affirms to J. Matalius Metellus that he was printing 'Opera Ciceronis a Fulvio emendata' (Corr., VI, no. 885). Finally, however, he abandoned the project and contented himself with printing only the Annotations on Cicero by F. Ursinus without the accompanying text (see no. cp011816; cf. Corr., VI, no. 910: letter to Ciofanus, 2-12 February 1581). |
