Martini Cromeri ex secundo libro de origine & rebus gestis Polonorum nonnulli loci dubii

[Matthaeus]

Any idea what "eq; repub." could be? Maybe "atque"?

Any idea why "uendae" with a lower-case 'u' here?

Any particular reason why he writes ad certam diem, but later has status curriculo dies? Is there really a difference between using the masculine vs. the feminine version?

Eque republica.

Because in that place it's being mentioned as a common noun meaning "(fishing) hook".

In classical Latin, the feminine is used mostly of an appointed date. Both passages here are about an appointed date, so you might have expected the feminine in both, but well. I'm not sure there's really any explanation.

 

[Matthaeus]

Eque republica.

I'm unable to find this anywhere. Is this an alternate version of a different word by any chance?

 

[Pacifica]

Eque is the preposition e (ex) + -que.

E re publica is a fairly common expression meaning "in the interests of the sate" or the like.

Ok, thanks for all your help!
