| Note 1 | Collection of epithets, antithets, and adverbs accompanying Latin words, as compiled from the works of Cicero, given in the alphabetical order of the words. |
| Note 2 | Plantin's 1564 and 1566 editions are the only known of Tuscanella's Ciceroniana. The dedicatory is dated Lendinara, 21 February 1564. The printing in the Plantin Press started already on 22 April 1564. This makes it virtually impossible that Plantin reprinted an Italian edition. The manuscript text must have been forwarded directly to him - and whoever acted as go-between between Lendinara and Antwerp did not lose much time. There are no indications of direct contacts between author and printer. May be an Italian merchant, either intending to do a favour to Tuscanella, or out of personal interest, contacted or even commissioned Plantin, taking a large number of the copies printed; or the publication was done at the request of one of the Van Bomberghens, at that time Plantin's partners, and in rather close relations with Italy. |
| Note 3 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 65, gives the following details about 'Epitheta Ciceroniana in 16⁰': the wages for composing and printing are entered on 22 and 30 April and 20 May 1564, and amount to 8 florins Carolus guilders 5 stuivers As each copy contains 5 sheets and as 1,250 copies were printed, 13 reams (including the unspecified 'deffects') of paper 'carré Pericart' were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 3½ stuivers per ream, came to 15 florins Carolus guilders 5½ stuivers, bringing the overall costs to 23 florins Carolus guilders 10½ stuivers (above the cost price of 23½ stuivers per ream has been written: 26, meaning very likely that at a later time it had been realized that the unit-price for the paper was not 23½ stuivers [1 florins Carolus guilders 3½ stuivers] but in fact 26 stuivers [1 florins Carolus guilders 6 stuivers]). |
| Note 4 | The entries in M 296 and M 164 may refer to both the 1564- and 1566-editions: M 296, folio 3r (Ciceroniana epitheta in 16⁰ etc., f[euilles] 5, [price:] stuivers 1), and M 164, folio 6r. |
