Note: Translated by Lodovico Dolce The first edition of the initial translation by Lodovico Dolce (1508/1510-1568) into Italian. It appears that only one 70 page volume of the translation was published: WorldCat records 4 copies of this book, and no copies of any later volumes. In 1542 Dolce began working with Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari, and those editions include his translation of the entire Metamorphoses. The Giolito editions appear under the title Le Trasformationi [ di M. Lodovico Dolce ] from that publisher.
