Poetarum omnium seculorum longe principis Homeri Ilias, hoc est, de rebus ad Troiam gestis descriptio, iam recens Latino carmine reddita.

Apparently a very rare edition of the first three books of the Iliad in the first Latin translation by one of the greatest neo-Latin poets of his time, Helius Eobanus (Koch; 1488-1540) from Halgehausen in Hesse. Eobanus' complete translation was published by Robert Winter in Basel in 1540. - Name stamp "Germain Lemaistre P" on the last leaf.
