| Note 2 | This series of Latin poems was made by Gamerius in 1564-1565. According to the Biographie Nationale [de Belgique] (probably following F. Sweertius, Athenae Belgicae), they were first published at Ingolstadt in 1565. Foppens, Bibliotheca Belgica, I, page 431 (following probably V. Andreas, Bibliotheca Belgica), is not so affirmative: he believes Gamerius's Viam Regiam ad Musas to have been published at Munich in 1567 and considers the Bucolica as having first been printed by Plantin in 1568. The last version is probably the correct one. Anyway, the many introductory pieces, including Plantin's own dedicatory to the Duke of Bavaria, suggest that the publication was not a reprint but a first edition. Very likely Sweertius and the Biographie Nationale [de Belgique] have been induced into error by the fact that a great number of the dedicatories and other pieces are dated Ingolstadt, 1565. It may be surmised that on his return to the Netherlands, in the first half of 1568, Gamerius contacted Plantin to publish the poetry he made in 1564-65 whilst in Ingolstadt. It looks as if Plantin's acceptance was partly motivated by the desire to oblige the Duke of Bavaria. |
| Note 3 | In an undated letter to Gamerius Plantin affirms that he will soon start printing the 'poemata' (Corr., I, no. 111; cf. also the letter of Plantin to Erasmus Vendius, 1 May 1568: Corr., I, no. 122). |
| Note 4 | In Arch. 16, folio 31, are entered to the debit of Gamerius, at the date of 21 July 1568, 13 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers for 90 copies (at 3 stuivers per copy), sent to Louvain at the request of the author; he had already received previously an unspecified number of author's copies ('pour 90 Bucolica des sienes lesquelles luy ont esté envoyez suivant sa lettre à Louvain oultre les aultres qu'il a eu pardevant dono pour sa copie etc. et les tire au prix des libraires à 3 [stuivers] la pièce'). Under the date of 6 July is noted the shipment of 25 additional copies, which, at 4 stuivers per copy, came to 5 florins Carolus guilders Plantin charged Gamerius also the port of a number of letters and packages mailed to the Duke of Bavaria (from 6 July 1568 till 7 April 1569), bringing the overall sum noted on Gamerius's debit to 27 florins Carolus guilders 14½ stuivers To pay his bill Gamerius sent 10 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers from Louvain on 8 October 1568, and paid cash 'estant présent en Anvers' 12 florins Carolus guilders 4½ stuivers on 17 May 1569. As he claimed that he did not receive the 25 copies sent on 6 July 1568, Plantin remitted him the 5 florins Carolus guilders due for this shipment. |
