[Ovid. Artist's manual] Den Metamorphosis ofte herscheppinghe van Ovidivs Naso,

in onse Nederduijtsche tale overgeset ende met figuren verciert (...). Seer nut voor alle Schilders, Beeltsnijders, Goutsmeden, ende Liefhebbers der Historien. Rotterdam. P. van Waesbergen, n.d. (ca. 1635), (1),425 p., with engraved title page, 1 full-page woodcut and 178 half-page woodcuts by/ after Virgil Solis, contemporary overlapping vellum.

Several woodcuts have been expurgated with washed ink, affecting also the facing and following pages; vaguely waterstained in bottom margin. Vellum torn on backstrip. Richly illustrated, very scarce edition, apparent from the title specifically intended for artists. The woodcuts had been used much earlier, e.g. in the Feyerabend edition from 1563.
