Actual Right End: that's not what you'd refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you're an idiot
You say, as you spell 'The Illiad' in English, the earliest instance of which was translated in the 1600s.
Nice self report
I can get you a signed edition of the Bible right now as long as you don’t care which company printed it or who signs it
buy bible, sign out myself, eBay, profit
Which Pope?
Alexander Pope.
Original Author
Do not steal
Or which edition it is.
op said first edition, not signed
I can do a first edition of the Bible. No guarantees on which edition though.
Ok, pick a scroll any scroll
They just a word
Further right of the bell curve than you just to win the silly semantics game you're playing: if you're calling it "The Illiad" and not "Ἰλιάς" you are defacto referring to the book titled "The Illiad" which is the English translation which indeed had a much more recent publication date than the original work.
