Specialist Notes

Rare editions of this important Latin translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey & nbsp; by the humanist Andreas Divus. In the preface he describes a dream that drives him to translate important Greek authors and promises to provide more texts by Aristophanes, Hesiod and Theocritus. & Nbsp; & nbsp; Legrand describes an edition similar to ours in two volumes published the same year in Lyons by & nbsp; by Vincentius de Portionariis.
