| Note 1 | A complementary volume to Plantin's Terentius of 1565, announced on its title-page, but presented as a separate publication and often sold separately. |
| Note 2 | Contains: a) 'Annotations' of Franciscus Fabricius on Terentius's comedies (pages [3-133]); b) M. Antonii Mureti de metris Terentianis (pages [133-135]); c) Variae lectiones sive emendationes potius, e veteribus libris Theod. Pulmanni (pages [137-143]; with an introductory note by Pulmannus, pages [135-137]). |
| Note 3 | In Plantin's foreword to the reader in the edition of the Terentius texts proper, the typographer explains that he publishes separated from the text the annotations, and gives details on those annotations: '…excudimus separatim quoque et quasi a corpore suo divulsas, Muretianae annotationes, quomodo eas a Francisco Fabricio auctas accepimus. Is enim cum videret a Mureto suae castigationis rationem paucis admodum in locis redditam esse; eamque in pluribus passim requiri; optimo consilio suis annotationibus priores triplo et amplius locupletiores effecit. In iis autem non solo omnes Mureti lectiones confirmavit, sed etiam si quid notatum est ab aliis viris doctis, qui in hoc auctore emendando studium collocarunt, comprehendit. Contulit enim cum Mureti libro alios quatuor emendatos, unum ab Erasmo, alterum a Goveano, tertium a Lolgio, quartum a Ioan. Rivio et Georg. Fabricio: e quibus omnia, quae vel conveniebant, vel discrepabant, breviter descripsit'. Plantin continues to explain that he also obtained from Theodorus Pulmannus the promise that the Antwerp scholar would give amendments or variants from his own four old [manuscript] copies. |
| Note 4 | In the foreword to the reader, in the Annotationes, page [2], F. Fabricius repeats this statement, adding that, besides the 4 books quoted already by Plantin, he followed more especially an old book [Terentius-edition] printed in Venice 'cuius auxilio Muretus locos perplurimos correxerat'. This foreword and the annotations themselves must have been reprinted (with or without some changes) from Fabricius's In sex Terentii comoedias annotationes, published in 1563. |
| Note 5 | In his introductory note in the form of a letter to Plantin, dated 13 September 1565 (pages [135-136]), Pulmannus affirms to have promised Plantin [a new edition of] Terentius, but he was not able to add much to his edition of Terentius published by Plantin in 1560 (see no. cp010261). However, to comply with the wishes of his friend 'to fill some pages' on Terentius in this edition, he gives a list of 'lectiones', compiled from a number of sources carefully enumerated (a manuscript belonging to Jacobus Redingerus of Bratislava; a manuscript of the canons of Xanten in the duchy of Cleves; a manuscript having belonged to Antonius Sconhovius; 'Fragmentum meum'; 'Quod e collegio Atrebatensi Lovanii Giselinus utendum accepit'; 'Giselini fragmentum'; an edition by Muretus 'quam Levinus Torrentius cum antiquiss. codice contulerat'). |
| Note 6 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 97, gives the following details about 'Annotationes Mureti et Fabritii in Terentium': the wages for composing and printing are entered on 25 and 31 August, and on 7 and 29 September 1565, and amount to 12 florins Carolus guilders 3 stuivers As each copy contains 4½ sheets and as 1,500 copies were printed, 14 reams of paper 'grand carré' were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers per ream, came to 22 florins Carolus guilders 8 stuivers, bringing the overall costs to 34 florins Carolus guilders 11 stuivers |
| Note 7 | Listed in M 296, folio 18v (Terentii Annotat[iones] seorsim, 16⁰, f[euilles] 4½, [price:] stuivers 1). |
