Note 1 | For each month is given: a) A mnemonic two lines-poem to remember the important feast-days and their dates; b) [Eventually:] A note on the difficult words in the verses; c) A note on the month (b and c: presented together); d) The feast-days as given in the poems with their dates. |
Note 2 | In the dedicatory Mekerchus explains that sometime ago a not named youth ('adolescens') had sent him those twelve 'disticha'. |
Note 3 | The text has also been reproduced in Mekerchus's De veteri et recta pronuntiatione linguae Graecae, published by Plantin in 1576 (cf. no. cp011688). Plantin must have judged it worthwile to issue a special separate edition. |
