500 |a For a bibliographical analysis of the edition, and an account of the lawsuit over the sheets between Sandys and Stansby, see Richard Beale Davis, "George Sandys v. William Stansby: The 1632 edition of Ovid's Metamorphosis", in The library: transactions of the Bibliographical Society (1948), pages 193-212. See also the highly detailed bibliographical description of this edition in Fredson Bowers and Richard Beale Davis, "George Sandys: a bibliographical catalogue", in Bulletin of the New York Public Library, v. 54 (1950), pages 227-229 (the same description is also printed in Bowers's Principles of bibliographical description (1949), pages 467-470). 
500 |a Collation: folio: engraved title + [pi]⁶ [par.]⁴ A-D⁴ E(3 leaves) F-3T⁴ 3V² [$3 ( -[par.]3, T2, 3D3, 3V2) signed (variants: C3, 2K3 unsigned); missigning E3 as F3, F2,3 as E2,3 (variants: misprinting 3A3 as 3A2, 3H3 as 3G3)]; 271 leaves, pages [20 unnumbered (1-2 blank)] 1-38 37 46-124 145-169 [170 (blank)] 171-199 [200 (blank)] 201-229 [230 (blank)] 231-367 [368 (blank)] 369-421 [422 blank)] 423-487 [488 (blank)] 491-549 [550] [=522] [misprinting 185 as 187, 242 as 248, 247 as 241, 295 as 265, 324-325 as 334-335, 481 as 480; variants: 18, 323 unnumbered; misprinting 35 as 34, 47-50 as 43-46, 326 as 336, 454 as 448, 500 as 200, 505 as 405]. Gathering E consists of a bifolium E1.3 (leaf 3 missigned F3) with E2, a half-sheet printed work-and-turn, quired in; it is not E4( -E4). On this, and gathering F, see Fredson Bowers, "Two notes on running titles as bibliographical evidence", in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, v. 42 (1948), pages 143-146. 
500 |a The preliminaries and one setting of quire 3V (with 3-line initials on the errata page) were printed in London by William Stansby; some copies have a different setting of 3V (with 2-line initials on the errata page), printed in Oxford; the errata themselves are the same in both settings. 
500 |a Variant: page 18 contains Sandys' note on his marginal annotations; the page is blank in some copies. 
500 |a Catchword variant on [pi]3r: "Vrania", or "Vra-" 
500 |a Plates comprise the engraved title (signed "Francisco Clein inv: Salamon Sauery sculp:"), an engraved portrait of Ovid, and 15 engraved illustrations facing the opening page of each book. "The engraved title by [Salamon] Savery after [Francisco] Clein measures 244 x 175 mm., with a platemark of 248 x 179. The unsigned portatrit of Ovid measures 239 x 177., with a platemark of 244 x 182. The plate for bk. 3 (opp. K3) is signed 'Sa: Saueri scul: F. Clein fe.' The other plates are unsigned, but are presumably by the same artists"--Bowers, George Sandys, page 228.
