An attractive Gryphius imprint of Ovid's later works, in a contemporary binding.

Contemporary blindstamped pigskin dated 1550 with initials MFD, roll border of alternating personifications of Justitia and Lucre and initials BP [EBDB w002710], one pastedown partially torn away to reveal board made of sheets from an edition of Melanchthon's Commentarius de anima (worn at extremities, one corner showing). Provenance: marginalia, including an elegy for Ovid attributed to Fabricius copies on the title verso - very faded stamp on flyleaf.
