The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art placed a temporary embargo on its export, to give British institutions a chance to match the purchase price, and reunite the two parts (Books 10-15 are in the Pepysian Library at Magdalene College, Cambridge). Thirty-six hours before the embargo expired, Eugene Power, founder of University Microfilms, offered Magdalene College a £71,000 loan, to be repaid from the proceeds of a facsimile edition planned by the New York publisher George Braziller. Cf. John Carter, “The Caxton Ovid” in The Book Collector, volume 20 (1971), pp.7-18; Edition of one: the autobiography of Eugene B.
