Homer. HOMERI ILIAS, Seu Potius Omnia Eius Quae Extant Opera. Studio & Cura. 
Ob. Giphanii... Strasburg: Theodosius Rihelius. (1572). 8vo. 893,(73)pp., 
lacking the final blank (the blank is noted by Adams). Index. Large woodcut device 
on title. Early calf, both covers elaborately gold tooled with the arms of 
Philippe de Ligne, Prince of Arenberg and Governor of Namur.     $1,500.00

This is the ILIAD volume only; Rihel also printed the ODYSSEY in a separate 
volume. It is quite common to find only one or the other in library collections 
(see Adams #764, #765, #768) or at auction. There are 4 auction records in 
the past 30 years, and 3 are for one volume only.
