It was originally entitled Metamorphoses, referring both to the initial transformation of Lucius into an ass by means of a potion and later the entry of Lucius, again in human form, into the Mysteries of Isis, but the name The Golden Ass came from St. Augustine's reference to the work, in his treatise The City of God, as asinus aureus. In form it is an episodic picaresque novel. This edition was translated by William Adlington, and contains an Introduction by E. B.

Spine ends expertly and almost invisibly repaired. A superb and understated example of the genius of Alfred De Sauty. William Adlington (fl. 1566) was an Elizabethan translator most famous for his translation of Apuleius' Metamorphoses, a 2nd century Roman novel (based on a Greek text), known in English as "The Golden Ass" (1566). The plot follows Lucius, who driven by his desire to see and understand magic, accidentally transforms himself into a donkey. Adlington's version departs at times from the original source material, embracing the "art" of translation and resulting in an incredibly readable version (Robert H. F. Carver). The Most Pleasant and Delectable Tale of the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche is an excerpt from The Golden Ass. Scholars cite Adlington's translation as one of Shakespeare's sources of inspiration. The work of bookbinder Alfred de Sauty (1870-1949) is appreciated for its delicate tooling. Although little is known about his life he worked in both London (1898 to 1923) and Chicago (1923 to 1935). "For instance, scholars are unsure whether, when in London, de Sauty worked independently, for the firm of Riviere & Sons, or both. While in London, he may also have been a designer for the Hampstead Bindery and a teacher at the Central School of Arts and Crafts" (Harvard) as works he bound during this period are signed "de S" or "De Sauty." De Sauty's career in Chicago working for the hand bindery of R. R. Donnelley & Sons is better documented; bindings made here use the name R. R. Donnelly. "He signed his work at the foot of the front doublure, if present, and at the center of the bottom turn-in of the front upper board, if not" (Harvard). Fine.…
