| Note 1 | Interesting treatise on the Art of Poetry. |
| Note 2 | Plantin must have received the manuscript at the end of 1575: in his letter to the author, 31 March 1576, he apologizes for having not yet been able to start printing, as the censor, a canon of the Antwerp Cathedral, who had to read the manuscript, had died (Corr., V, no. 708). For some additional details, see no. cp011410. |
| Note 3 | The Spanish Fury of 4 November 1576 and the continuing troubles in the Netherlands made that the work could only be brought on the market in 1579 (cf. also no. 2448). |
| Note 4 | The shipping to Italy of the copies presented to the author also did not go smoothly (cf. Plantin's letter of 12-15 February 1581 to Charles Billohe, who, on behalf of Viperanus, had written him from Madrid on 22 November 1580 an epistle Plantin only received on 12 February 1581: Corr., VI, no. 914; and his letter to Viperanus, 15 September 1581, in which the typographer affirms to have sent a year ago to Rome the copies intended for the author: Ibidem, no. 946). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 19v ([Viperanus Jo.] Idem de re Poetica lib., 1569 [= for 1579], 8⁰, f[euilles] 10, [price:] stuivers 3), and M 321 (sub 1581!). |
