AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of eighteenth-century volumes containing Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, in Italian translation.
The first volume presents the Odyssey, translated into Florentine vernacular by Girolamo Baccelli; the second volume contains the Iliad, rendered from the Greek text into Tuscan verse by Giacinto Ceruti.
Printed edition in Livorno in 1705 by Tommaso Masi & Co., with Didot type.
Copies in contemporary full leather binding with gilt frames on the covers, spines with raised bands and gold titles.
Pages with a natural patina of time, light and widespread foxing and some stains, without serious flaws; bindings solid but with normal signs of use, abrasions and peeling.
Complete works in two volumes, accompanied by the respective title pages.
An important testimony to the eighteenth-century reception of Homer in the Italian literary tradition.
