The only book known under Mazali's imprint at Parma, until 1504 he was established at Reggio Emilia; and Mazali's last known work. Several of the woodcuts appear for the first time, the others are from the very rare Ovid published in Venice in 1497. 'These illustrations for Ovid are among the best examples of the "classic" style influenced by Andrea Mantegna, as discussed by Hind. He considers the possibility that the "ia" is a signature of the block cutter Jacob of Strassburg, known to have been working at Venice about 1500 ... Hind concludes that "if any of the Venetian illustrations are Benedetto Montagna's design, nothing is more likely to be his than the Ovid". Subsequent editions of Ovid were heavily dependent on these blocks' (Mortimer). 'As in the Venetian woodcut of the time, the illustrator concentrates on the essential lines; he avoids any cross-hatching. The white background is prevalent, the human figures distinct, unnecessary details and ornaments are neglected' (translated from Henkel, Illustrierte Ausgaben von Ovid's Metamorphosen, in Vorträge of the Bibliothek Warburg, 1926-27, p.65ff.)
