Göschen – 1804 • Author: Homer (edited under the renowned recension of Friedrich August Wolf). • Publisher / Printer: Lipsiae (Leipzig), Apud Bibliopolam G. J. Göschen. • Publication year: 1804 • Collation / Page count: 421 pages, 2 copper engravings (complete). • Format: 18 x 13 cm (octavo). • Language: Greek original text with Latin prefaces. Description / Theme: Very rare and bibliophilic significant scholarly edition of the Iliad by Homer, printed by the famous classical publisher Georg Joachim Göschen in Leipzig. This edition was specifically issued for “In usum scholarum” (for advanced school and university use). The special highlight of this exemplar are the two beautiful, detailed copper engravings (frontispieces): 1. Part I: Classical portrait of Homer (OMHROS). 2. Part II: Profile portrait of the Trojan hero Hector (EKTOR). Binding and condition: • Binding: Historic half-leather binding with mounted spine label. On the covers there is a rare embossed academic supralibros plaque (school prize coat of arms) with the gold inscription "Praemium Il. Schol. Provinc...". Spine with genuine cords. • Condition: Aged but worn / bumped (more pronounced signs of use after over 220 years). The leather and paper boards show noticeable rubbing and material loss at the corners and edges. The leather spine is stable, though it has small cracks at the joints and bears an old library inventory number (label “30”) at the foot. The interior is solid; the paper shows the characteristic foxing of the period, but the text and the two engravings are clean and legible. Lot 2: Homer – Homeri Ilias. Explained by G. Ch. Crusius (1840 edition) • Title: Homer – Homeri Ilias.

This concerns the specific “First Part” (Primer Cuaderno), which contains cantos 1–4 of the Iliad and was comprehensively commented on by the renowned classical philologist Gottlieb Christian Crusius.
