A 1583 Paris edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses, a Latin text with prose arguments and elegiac verse commentary by Johannes Spreng, illustrated by Bernard Salomon and printed for scholarly readers of classical mythology. Its small woodcut scenes are rendered with dense parallel hatching, showing figures in landscapes, transformations, and crowded battles, useful to a designer studying compact narrative vignettes and engraved line texture.
