Really Old Ovid Translations

Over spring break, I went on the ParishAbroad trip to London, Bruges, Brussels, and Amsterdam. While in Bruges, we went to the Bruges Groening Museum. The exhibitions mainly focused on religious art and a small amount of modern art. However, there was one exhibition that focused on some of the first books printed on the printing press, and it included an entire room on various collections of Ovid translations. We were not allowed to take pictures, but some of the translators and collectors included Charles de Croy and Raphael van Mercatellis.
