| Edition information | |
| Illustrations | Engravings: showing gladiators and gladiator-fights: a) 4 illustrations, c. 240 × c. 330, hors-texte: each with an inscription in the left lower-corner, referring to the chapter it helps to visualize (LIB. I. CAP. 6.; LIB. I. CAP. 8.; LIB. 2. CAP. 19; LIB. 2. CAP. 20. 21. 22) b) 12 illustrations, c. 115 × c. 155, in text: on pages 89, 91, 106, 112, 116, 119, 122, 123, 125, 132, 135, 137 (numbered A-M in left upper-corner). The illustrations have stylistical affinities with the work of Pieter van der Borcht. In that case, they must have been executed in Antwerp. It is not impossible, however, that they have been realized in Holland, by a local artist |

| Note 1 | Second, revised and enlarged (cf. BB, III, page 1069), and now also illustrated edition of the 1582-publication. |
| Note 2 | Printed in the Officina Plantiniana in Leiden, but part of the edition received a title-page with Plantin's Antwerp imprint. |
| Note 3 | 'Justi Lipsii Saturnalia, in 4º' figures in the list of books printed by Plantin in Leiden, a copy of which he presented to the Leiden magistrate on 2 January 1585 (this copy lost; cf. E. Hulshoff Pol, 'Boucken op 't secreet. Plantijndrukken op het raadhuis te Leiden' in Leids Jaarboekje, 1972, page 12). It must, consequently, have been printed at the end of 1584. |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 9v, and M 321 (f[euilles] 28, [price:] stuivers 20). |
