| Note 1 | Edition of the compendium on Latin orthography compiled by Cassiodorus from the writings of 12 classical authors who had treated the subject. |
| Note 2 | Edited by Ludovicus Carrio. The dedicatory is in fact a letter written by Carrio from Cologne to Theodoras Pulmannus, announcing the mailing of the manuscript and urging his friend to publish it under his own name at the Plantin Press. Carrio gives other details as well: he had wished to add the notes he made in the past on the fragment of the 'liber Gemblacensis' (Cassiodorus-manuscript in the library of the Gembloux Abbey) and on the parchment sheets owned by Cornelius Gualtherus and sent to him by Franciscus Martinius, but they had remained behind, with all his other writings, at Louvain, and he could not recover them because of the troubles. For this edition he was, consequently, following a 'liber Coloniensis' (printed Cologne-edition?) given to him by Melchior Hittorpius. |
| Note 3 | This edition is also announced on the title-page of Plantin's publication of A. Manutius, Epitome orthographiae, 1579 (see no. cp012074). |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 3r (Cassiodori orthographia p[er] Carrionem, 8⁰, 1579, [price:] stuivers 1, feuilles] 3½) and 13v ([Orthographia] Cassiodori in 8⁰, f[euilles] 3½, [price:] stuivers 1), and M 164, folio 6v. |
