Image Gallery Description & Details

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.
