Note 1 Series of Latin poems on the medical art, in a more literary vein and consequently with much less professional details than De lue pestilenti; apparently intended more for a humanistic public than for the medical profession.
Note 2 On the problem of the date (1561 instead of 1562): see cp011119.
Note 3 The dedicatory letter to Granvelle shows that the treatise was written and published after the Carmen pro vera medicina. It was, however, already on the market a few weeks after the publication of the Carmen: 18 copies were sold on 16 December 1561 to A. Birckman (Arch. 36, folio 17 recto) and another 4 copies on 7 January 1562 to Maternus Cholinus, Cologne (Arch. 36, folio 17 verso).
Note 4 The Carmen and the Popularia Epigrammata are carefully distinguished from each other in the Plantinian book-catalogues, but were often sold together, as was the case in the sales to Birckman and Cholinus mentioned above (to Birckman: '18 Carmen et Epigram[mata] pop[ularia] Ayalȩ 4⁰'; to Cholinus: 'Ayalȩ, epigra[mmata] cu[m] Carm[en] de lue pestil[enti]').
Note 5 Listed in M 296, folio 1 recto ([Ayalȩ] Popularia epigrammata med[ica], 4⁰, f[euilles] 10½, [price:] stuivers 1¾), and M 164, folio 1 recto.
