1557 Ovid Metamorphoses Greek Mythology Illustrated Woodcuts Italian WORLD MAP
"I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth."
― Ovid, Metamorphoses
Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' is one of the most famous works of Greek and Roman mythology and history of the 1st-century. This epic poem recounts the history of the world from creation to the death of Julius Caesar with accounts of famous mythological figures such as Jason, Hercules, Orpheus and Eurydice, Achilles, Ulysses, and even the fall of Troy!
This highly rare and desirable 1557 Italian edition was translated and edited by Lodovico Dolce. While there are other 17th-century Dolce editions, this is the best on account of the 84 woodcut engravings each illustrating scenes from the poem. The most important engraving is the woodcut map of the world detailing the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, Equator and positions of the wind. It also shows North American labeled as 'Nueva Hispania'.
