A collection of the six books of the *War of Troy* attributed to Dictys of Crete, in the Latin translation by Quintus Septimius, and the account of the destruction of Troy attributed to Dares the Phrygian, traditionally presented in the translation by Cornelius Nepos. At the end of the volume, three orations on subjects drawn from antiquity, including one by Libanius, translated into Latin by Erasmus of Rotterdam. The printer’s mark, engraved on wood on the last folio, depicts Fortune standing on a globe within an architectural frame.
