With a summary in English. This study deals with the works published during Secundus' lifetime, and with the
poems on the death of Thomas More that appeared in 1536 shortly after he died. The incentive to carry out the
research was the discovery of an unknown manuscript of Secundus' collected poems in the Bodleian Library,
Oxford (MS. Rawl, G.154), used as the printer's copy for the editio princeps of Secundus' poems, posthumously
published at Utrecht in 1541. (Bibliotheca Humanistica & Reformatorica, Vol. XXXVIII). With 15 plates. Sales
