Omnia ab his; et in his sunt omnia: siue beati Te decor eloquij, seu rerũ pondera tangunt. Angel: Pol: _At London Printed for Nathaniell Butter._ F^o. (11⅜ × 7¼). F. 4. Engraved titlepage signed William Hole. Collation: 2 leaves unsigned, replacing original engraved titlepage. * 2-6, with two leaves inserted after * 5 (* 4 misprinted A 4), A-2F⁶2G⁸; A3-6B-Q⁶R⁸ S-2H⁶2I⁸; paged. R 8 and 2I 8 in second alphabet blank. Wanting the two leaves inserted in sig. *, and * 6, also 2G 8 (? blank). This edition is made up of earlier editions of both parts; the ‘Odessey’ is also inserted between the new title-sheet and the ‘Iliad’ instead of following the latter. The title-sheet contains, engraved titlepage, with engraved portrait of the translator on the verso; engraved memorial to Prince Henry on second leaf. (In some copies the engraved titlepage is found without the portrait on verso, and these seem to be the earlier impressions.) This sheet takes the place of the original titlepage (_c._ 1612-13) and the dedicatory verses to Sir Edward Philips found in some copies of the original issue. Dedicatory verses to Prince Henry, signed by the translator. Anagram on Prince Henry. Verses to Queen Anne, signed. Verses to Viscounts Cranborne and Rochester and Sir Edward Philips, occupying the two inserted leaves (wanting in the present copy). Verses to the reader (first leaf wanting). Preface. Errata. Twenty-four books of the ‘Iliad’. Verses to the Duke of Lenox, the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Salisbury, Earl of Suffolk, Earl of Northampton, Earl of Arundell, Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Montgomerie, Lord Lisle, Countess of Montgomerie, Lady Wrothe, Countess of Bedford, Earl of Southampton, Earl of Sussex, the Lord Warden, and Sir Thomas Howard, signed at the end. The edition of the ‘Odessey’ had appeared in 1614, with an engraved title ‘Homer’s Odysses. Translated according to y^e Greeke. By Geo: Chapman. Imprinted at London by Rich: Field, for Nathaniell Butter’. This and the blank leaf preceding it have been cancelled in the present as in most other copies of the collected edition. In some copies, _e.g._ in that in the Cambridge University Library, is found a printed titlepage: ‘Homers Odesses. Translated According to the Greeke. By George Chapman. [Motto.] London, Printed for Nathaniel Butter’. Epistle dedicatory in verse and prose to Robert, Earl of Somerset. Translations of Greek epigrams. Twenty-four books of the ‘Odessey’ with a few verses at the end. The present which was the first collected edition appeared about 1616. It seems to be generally assumed that the collected edition of 1616 contained, not the 1612-13 ‘Iliad’, but a reprint. Copies in this state are found in the Cambridge University Library and the British Museum (G. 8837).
