[TIPOGRAFIA MILANESE] - OVIDIO (43 a.C.-17? d.C. ) - De Arte Amandi et Remedio amoris cum commentario Bartholomei Merulae. Milan: Fratelli da Legnano, 1521.

An excellent illustrated edition of this famous text by Ovid which had so far enjoyed wide circulation, but not yet a good iconographic apparatus. Only two copies are registered as having sold at auction on RBH. With the renown illustration on paper C5v with "city siege" (perhaps of Milan?) which is reproduced and cited by Sanders as seen for the first time in an edition of 1566.

Folio (297 x 212mm). Title within woodcut border with an elegant printer's device present also in the colophon, woodbcut initials, text within commentary and illustrated with numerous fine woodcuts (some wormholes to title and following leaves, mostly marginal but with small loss of some letters, some sporadic staininig, occasional slight browning). 19th-century half calf (spine with some restorations). Provenance: Joannes Micotetti, Bologna 1846 (ownership inscription) - Mediolanum (bookseller description in the book).
