Written in the 2nd Century, C.E., it is the only Latin novel to survive in its entirety. It was originally entitled Metamorphoses, referring both to the initial transformation of Lucius into an ass by means of a potion and later the entry of Lucius, again in human form, into the Mysteries of Isis, but the name The Golden Ass came from St. Augustine's reference to the work, in his treatise The City of God, as asinus aureus. In form it is an episodic picaresque novel. This edition was translated by William Adlington, and contains an Introduction by E. B. Osborn, and sixteen (16) full page erotic illustrations by Jean de Bosschere, along with many other partial page drawings. Jean de Bosschere (illustratore).
