‎HOMER.‎

Reference : 59792

(1836)

‎Odyssee oversat af Christian Wilster. 2 Dele. - [THE FIRST FULL TRANSLATION OF THE ODYSSEY INTO DANISH ]‎

‎Kjøbenhavn (Copenhagen, Reitzel, 1836. 8vo. Both volumes together in the original blue paper-wrappers, clearly interim-wrappers that were meant to be replaced/bound and thus extremely scarce. The wrappers are very thin and the spine has thus split down the middle, as there are creases and tears to extremities and spine in general. Internally, the copy is splendid, completely uncut and unopened and with only light occasional brownspitting. A magnificent copy in completely original condition. ‎

The first edition is uncommon and very rare in completely original condition as here.‎
