| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Reprint of the 1570-edition, with an addition: In Commentarios C. Iulii Caesaris index alphabeticus (pages [521-552]; missing in Museum Plantin-Moretus, A 880, and bound in Museum Plantin-Moretus, A 1685, after the Scholia Manutii. From the numbering of the quires it is, however, clear that this Index doesn't belong to the Scholia, but to the Commentarii). |
| Note 2 | It was completed by Paulus Manutius, Scholia (see no. cp012645): this publication is presented as a separate book, but the references in the Plantinian records show that the Commentarii and the Scholia were in fact considered to form only one edition and were normally sold together. The Scholia are, moreover, announced on the title-page of the Commentarii. |
| Note 3 | The publication was partially printed by Joannes Masius, typographer at Louvain, who in these years often printed for Plantin with type supplied by the latter. Masius printed 37½ sheets of the Comment. Caesaris (this number corresponds with the Commentarii proper, to the exclusion of the introductory part - pages [1-24] - and the additional Index alphabeticus - pages [521-552] - which were probably printed in the Plantin Press): on 30 November 1573 he had been paid (a not specified sum) for 30 sheets, so that Plantin owed him still for 7½ sheets the sum of 15 florins Carolus guilders (i.e. 2 florins Carolus guilders per sheet and consequently 75 florins Carolus guilders for the whole operation). Cf. the letters of Masius to Plantin of 2 May 1574 (Corr., IV, no. 527, page 85) and 12 August 1574 (Corr., IV, no. 547, page 121) |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 2v ([Commentaria Caesaris] Idem a⁰ 74, f[euilles] 45½, [price:] stuivers 10), and M 164, folio 6r. The number of sheets mentioned in both catalogues refer to the combined editions: Commentarii (41 sheets plus an additional ½ sheet for the two maps) and Manutius's Scholia (4 sheets). |
