= Near complete set of the plates to the French translation by Abbé Banier, Paris, Basan and Le Mire, 1767-1771. One of the finest illustrated Ovidius editions. Cohen/ De Ricci, p.769-772: "Superbe ouvrage dû aux soins de l'éditeur Basan et du graveur Le Mire. C'est une des plus galamment illustrés de tout le siècle"; Fürstenberg p.79: "Hauptwerk französischer Illustrationskunst"; Levine, p.395: "One of the most elegantly illustrated books of last century"; Ray, p.105-109 and passim: "This is the supreme anthology of French rococo book illustration. If it has not received the detailed consideration given the Decameron, or the Fermiers-Généraux La Fontaine, this is no doubt because the diversity of its artists and their subjects makes the book difficult either to generalize about or to place".
