| Note 1 | Religious treatise in six 'books' (each preceded by a 'elenchus' or table) compiled from the writings of St. Augustinus: I. De contemptu divitiarum (pages 1-90); II. De flagello Dei sive de medicina animae (pages 91-184); III. De prosperitate et adversitate huius saeculi (pages 185-270); IV. De felicitate caelestis patriae (pages 271-344); V. De Christo, eiusque corpore, quod est ecclesia: liber primus (pages 345-404); VI. Idem: liber secundus (pages 405-501). |
| Note 2 | In the dedicatory the author explains how some six years ago, when having fled from the troubles in Brabant to Liège, he had published there a first edition of his Thesaurus dedicated to the archbishop of Cologne (no copy is known of this publication). Now, the peace being restored, he has much enlarged his treatise and has seen it immediately printed by Plantin. Perhaps, as should be deduced from the text, at the urging of some influential religious authorities (Livinus Torrentius, the new bishop of Antwerp and former vicar-general of Liège?) (…et expectatio quorundam piorum, qui, donec totum hunc Thesaurum simul haberent, etiam partem illius, quae impressa Leodii fuit, sibi comparare distulerunt…). |
