Omērou Ilias – Homer – 1534 | The Iliad in Ancient Greek Text
1534 Strasbourg edition of Homer’s Iliad in Greek, edited by Johann Lonitzer
A complete, 16th-century Greek edition of The Iliad by Homer, published in Strasburg in 1534. The Greek text curiously appears without the Latin translation or commentary, which is uncommon for this work. It was edited by Volfius Cephalaeus and published in Strasbourg, rebound in beautiful modern leather with marbled page edges.
