Dibdin II, 268. – Reich commented on and published by several registers, edited by the philologist Pieter Burman (1668-1741), university professor in Utrecht and Leiden. "Beautiful and so far most complete edition. She becomes rare" (Ebert). "Notwithstanding a few imperfections, this beautiful and erudit performance may be considered as the 'editio longe praestantissima' of Ovid. Its various readings, sagacious citicisms, and judicious selection of the most valuable parts of ancient editions, render it a work almost indispensable to those students who wish to enter minutely into the beauty and illustrations of the poet" (Dibdin). – A slightly patchy specimen of a historical school library with corresponding stamps, signatures and exlibris signs. Volume III also with a larger moisture margin.
