Sobre este artículo
Translated by Wilhelm Xylander; Edited by Thomas Munckerus. Illustrated with additional engraved title page by C. Decker; woodcut initials. 12mo. Greek and Latin texts on facing pages. Contemporary semi-limp vellum; gilt borders with acorn corner tools and Upsilon centerpiece to each board; title inked on spine. Amstelodami (Amsterdam): apud Janssonio-Waesbergios 1676. (Willems 1894; Hoffmann I 193; Spoelder 527 (Delft I)).
Known as The Metamorphoses, Liberalis' only surviving work is a collection of 41 brief tales of mythical transformation. Written in conversational prose rather than the usual verse, its modern translator Francis Celoria notes that its koine Greek is entirely acceptable while also being "grimly simple."
Wilhelm Xylander first printed the text in 1568; since then some leaves of the single surviving manuscript (late 9th century) have disappeared, making the editio princeps a necessary textual authority. The Upsilon character in the center of each board could depict a Y, U, or V initial, or could, in its use as an emblem for a point of change resulting in divergent paths of virtue and vice, refer to the book's subject.
Binding slightly soiled; endpapers worn; ties lost; o/w Very Nice.
