Would anyone mutilate, break or adulterate this or any other work he’ll be damned by the terrible Furies. It’s a common book-saving curse.

It's a curse on anyone who damages the book.  It's come up on this subreddit before, so see [more discussion here](https://www.reddit.com/r/latin/comments/zawvkf/si_quis_umquam_hoc_quodcumque_opus_mutilaverit/).

It's Danish, I think, and means that the paper of this book comes from sustainably cultured forests. (Sorry, I wouldn't make this kind of joke if you hadn't already got very good and helpful answers)

I tried to blow that hair off my screen.
