AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Homer's classic ILIAD and ODYSSEY translated into German by Johann Heionrich Voss, here in the rare embossed luxurious bindings designed by Ludwig von Hoffmann (1861-1945) in 1939.
This two-volume Homer set was bound at the same time in 1939, but the two books were printed in different years (1924 and 1939).
The volume of Odyssey originates from the first edition of 1924, illustrated with the famous wood-cuts by Ludwig von Hoffmann and with MARCUS BEHMER's typeface on strong Zander's Bütten. This volume has the typical 1924 title-page, is undated and without colophon. Old label of a Czech Antiquariat on the inner side of the back cover.
The volume of Iliad is of the 1939 re-edited numbered publication which added:
Introduction "Homer in the Arts" by Max von Boehn and Wolfgang Bruhn, illustrated with tipped-in plates for this introduction and using a modernized typeface, while the rest of the book bears the Behmer's type-face and contains the wood-cuts of Hoffmann.
Both volumes were bound in different, but matching embossed half-linen art bindings, creating an impressive decorative and bibliophilic two volume -set hardly seen on the market.
Excellent condition, fresh paper quality.
The shipping rate reflects the weight of over 5kg of this set.
(shipping via registered airmail, arrival time 10 - 30 working days, depending on destination, to Italy we ship with EMS courier).
