Wisdoms conquest or, an explanation and grammaticall translation of the thirteenth book of Ovid's Metamorphoses, containing that curious and rhetoricall contest between Ajax and Vlysses, for Achilles armour; where is set forth to the life the power of valour, and the prevalence of eloquence. In it you shall have sentences both morall and divine, together with grammar, rhetorick, history, etymologies, criticisms, phrases, paraphrase, &c. No knot or difficulty but is untied and cleered, and Homer himself in many places illustrated. Here you have the sum and substance of whatever is of worth (in reference to this story) in the annotations of Bersman, Sabin, Regius, Golding, Michyll, Placitus, Rhodiginus, Egnatius, Glarean, Longolius, Fanensis, Sandys, Farnaby.
