Sabinus (15081560) originally published his commentary on the Metamorphoses as a stand-alone text in 1555; subsequently it was combined with Ovid's verse to create a pocket-sized commentated and practical edition, with headings to break up the text, a comprehensive index, and printed marginalia. This is one of numerous editions produced from 1589 onwards; more recent interest in Sabinus' interpretations has resulted in a 2019 edition published by De Gruyter. We find only one copy in North America (Illinois) and only one in the UK (Eton). VD17 23:754013L; not in USTC. Language: Latin.…
