Legatura coeva in piena pergamena liscia con unghie, titolo e informazioni tipografiche manoscritte al dorso (liscio). 6 carte non numerate, 309 pagine numerate, 1 cc. nn. Frontespizio riccamente decorato da un?impressione xilografica in cui il titolo è riportato su una pergamena incorniciata da una struttura simile ad un altare devozionale. Dio e due angeli in devozione completano la scena. Testo in corsivo, numerose illustrazioni xilografiche nel testo e capilettera figurati. Non comune e importante edizione originale, dedicata a Carlo V (ne esiste una di poco posteriore con un quaderno in più alla fine occupato solo da componimenti gratulatori). Le Trasformazioni costituiscono il libero volgarizzamento in ottava rima delle Metamorfosi di Publio Ovidio Nasone. Per approdare a questa edizione, Dolce si era impegnato per quasi un ventennio a dare la forma più acconcia al testo ovidiano in lingua italiana, così da divulgare e uniformarlo ai canoni della letteratura italiana. Bell'esemplare, leggermente corto al margine superiore. Margini del frontespizio molto ridotti, al lato destro inesistenti con perdita di 1/2 mm dell'immagine. XVI-century binding in full smooth parchment, with title and typographical information on spine (smooth), presumably handwritten. On covers, traces of handwriting are visible, faded overtime. 6 unnumbered folios, 309 full numbered pages, (1). Frontispiece richly adorned by an elaborate woodcut impression: title and information are represented as written on a scroll, framed by an altar-like structure. God and two praying angles complete the scene. Text in italics, numerous woodcuts in the volume and richly illustrated capitals. Uncommon and very important original edition, dedicated to Charles V (a shortly successive one exists, with an attached notebook at the end with celebrative poems). Le Trasformazioni consists of the free translation in vernacular octaves of Publius Ovidius Naso?s Metamorphoses. To achieve this edition, Dolce was busy for almost twenty years in rewriting the ovidian text in the most appropriate italian possible, so to divulge it and align it with italian literature. …
