This little ti’act, ivith the two preceding ones, is elegantly bound in
red morocco. I do not know of the existence of another copy of it.
328. Ovidius. Metamorphoseon Libri. TVith-
out Date, Place, or Name of Printer. Folio.
We are indebted to Braun for a particular and animated descrip-
tion* of this extremely rare and beautiful impression of the Metamor-
phoses of Ovid. The same bibliographer justly observes, towards the
conclusion of his description,—‘ Hac de editione omnes bibliographicae
rei scriptores altum tenent silentium.’ Lord Spencer has prefixed to
this copy a pencil memorandum, from which it appears that the type
resembles that of the Propertius and Tibullus of 1472, noticed by
Audiffredi, at p. 440-1 of his Edit. Rom.: see, also, post. It is most
probable that the work was not executed later than 1473. There is a
freshness, and an appearance of early printing about it, that justify
me in assigning to it the present order. On the recto of the first
leaf, without any prefix, quite at the top of the page, we read the
opening, thus:
N noua fert alus mutatas dice formas
Copa : dii cpptis na uos mutastis 8c iilas
Aspirate meis : primaq; ab origle mudi
Ad mea ppetuu deducite tpra carme.
8cc. 8cc. 8cc.
This, and every page except the last, has 31 lines. There are no titles
to the several books; and the impression is entirely vvithout signatures,
* See tlie Notit, Hist. Lit. pt. i. p. 109 : but the fac-simile of the type, at No. IV. of Plate
VIII. is very inditFerent; it being much thinner and sharper than the original. There is
something of the character of Ambergau’s letter about it—but it is more delicate. The
press-work is at ouce elegant and exact.
