[Roman Mythology] LIMITED EDITION. Quarto (31 x 20cm), pp.[4] xl; 189 [7]. Number 284 of 375 copies thus, letter-press printed on on Batchelor's Kelmscott hand-made paper. Publisher's oatmeal quarter cloth, with grey paper over boards, and printed paper title labels to spine and upper. All edges untrimmed. Internally crisp and clean, but for a tiny black ink ownership to the front pastedown, dated 1937. Spine toned, with some peeling to label, and moderate general wear and bumping to boards. Minor worming to joints / hinges. Very good. Ovid's classic history of Gods and Men, here translated by William Caxon in 1480. Sadly only these six books of the original manuscript survived, collected by Samuel Pepys and bound in his personal brown sheepskin.
