Ovid's Metamorphoses

title with woodcut device, woodcut illustrations, main text in double column, final leaf laid down, a few marginal repairs and tears, some light soiling and damp stains, bookplate, ownership signature of DL Cumming
later vellum-backed marbled boards
Size 6 by 8 1/4"

Text in Italian
The Metamorphoses ( from Ancient Greek: "Transformations") is a Latin narrative poem from 8 CE by the Roman poet Ovid.
It is considered his magnum opus. The poem chronicles the history of the world from its creation to the deification of Julius Caesar in a mythico-historical framework.
Although it meets some of the criteria for an epic, the poem defies simple genre classification because of its varying themes and tones. Ovid took inspiration from the genre of metamorphosis poetry and some of the Metamorphoses derives from earlier treatment of the same myths; however, he diverged significantly from all of his models.
One of the most influential works in Western culture, the Metamorphoses has inspired such authors as Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer, and William Shakespeare. Numerous episodes from the poem have been depicted in works of sculpture, painting, and music, especially during the Renaissance. There was a resurgence of attention to his work towards the end of the 20th century. Today the Metamorphoses continues to inspire and be retold through various media.
