The present book is made up of the complete Iliad, and the complete Odyssey, sewn together. The enterprising Butter made the engraved title of the Iliads answer for the general title-page of this book also, only, of course, changing the wording in the central panel. Some copies have the engraved title of the Odyssey, but more lack it. Its omission was probably due to its having become too faint from continued use to be of service. Butter added one or two new features to some copies of the volume, and among them a fine large portrait of Chapman, which he printed in a very unusual place, on the verso of the title-page. It represents the head of the translator, surrounded by clouds, and bears on the circular frame the inscriptions: _Haec est laurigeri facies diuina Georgi_; _Hic Ph[oe]bi Decus est_; _Ph[oe]binumqz Deus_; _Georgius Chapmanus Homeri Metaphrastes_. _Æta: LVII. M.DC.XVI; Conscium Evasi Diem._ The date of the inscription is usually given as the date of issue of the book. Below the frame are ten lines beginning with two quotations, one in Latin, and one in English, and followed by this interesting statement: _Eruditorum Poetarum huius Æui, facile Principi, Dno Georgio Chapman; Homero (velit nolit Inuidia) Rediuiuo. I.M. Tessellam hanc_ Χαριϛήριον [Greek: Charistêrion] _DD._ It would be a gratifying thing to know the name of the friend who thus added so much to the embellishment and interest of the book. Could it have been John Marston? The engraving is ascribed to Hole, though without any very good reason, except that he had made the title-page of the Iliad, some four years earlier. It seems hardly probable that his awkward hand could have drawn the title for the Odyssey, and, while the same holds true of the engraver of the portrait, a comparison of the three plates perhaps would show that Butter employed more than one engraver. Besides the portrait, our publisher added after the title-page, on a separate leaf, an engraved dedication "To the Imortall Memorie, of the Incomparable Heroe, Henrye Prince of Wales," who died in 1612. Two columns labelled "Ilias" and "Odyssæa," bound with a band inscribed "Musar: Hercul: Colum:," have below them lines ending: "... Thow, dead. then; I Liue deade, for giuing thee Eternitie "Ad Famam. "To all Tymes future, This Tymes Marck extend; Homer, No Patrone founde; Nor Chapman, friend: "Ignotus nimis omnibus; Sat notus, moritur ſibi:"
