‎Scarce first edition of the first complete Swedish translation of The Iliad, Marcus Wallenberg's famous magnum opus, which constitutes the first full Scandinavian translation of any Homeric work and which in many ways introduced Homer to the Swedish public. The work exercised great impact upon the reading public of Sweden and came to be highly influential. It was both highly praised and the source of much controversy, over metrics and translation-principles in general. ""The first volume of Marcus Wallenberg's translation of the Iliad-which was going to be the first complete Swedish translation of the Homeric epics-appeared 1814… The reviewer in Stockholms Posten began by exclaiming ""A Swedish translation of Homer in metric verse!!"" He argued that the translation was a major achievement for Swedish literature and noteworthy for two reasons. Firstly, because of the source text. He describes Homer as the oldest and greatest poet in Greece and the world but says that he suspects that readers would be surprised by this description. This indicates that Homer was moving towards the top of the epic genre hierarchy and was overtaking Virgil, but that his position there was not quite uncontested yet. Secondly, because of the method of translating. The reviewer commends Wallenberg for choosing to make a faithful translation"" (Goldwyn, edt.: ""The Trojan Wars and the Making of the Modern World: Classical Reception Since Antiquity"", p. 161). At the turn of the 19th century, as Swedish translators of the classics began to question the old conventions governing translation, the Iliad became a locus of aesthetic contestation, and Wallennberg's great achievement became the centre of attention. But the translation not only played a central part in academic descussions about Homer, the classics, and translation-principles, it paved the way for an understanding of the Homeric epics in Sweden and placed Homer among the canonical authors that had otherwise been neglected. ""When the second volume of Wallenberg's Iliad appeared (1815), the whole Iliad was reviewed by Lorenzo Hammarsköld in Swensk Literatur-Tidning. Hammarsköld began by welcoming the translation and detailing the difficulties facing a Swedish translator of the Iliad, the main one being lack of interest and understanding for the Homeric epics among the Swedish readership. What Swedes of his time knew of Homer was, according to Hammarsköld, not much more than that Homer was sublime, majestic, and bold beyond description, but at times prosaic and unpolished, and that he, since he did not know of literary societies, could fall so far below epic grandeur, that he likened a king to a bull and a charming prince to a fly. Further, the Swedish public lacked in the education needed to properly appreciate the Homeric narrative and the beauty of his unaffected and unsentimental style. Therefore, Hammarsköld feared that ""a translation in the genuine and grand style"" would not be appreciated and that readers were likely to feel deceived, suspecting that a garrulous storyteller has been passed off as Homer and not know what to think of the translation at hand"" (ibid. pp. 171-72) The translation did in fact prove to be very popular indeed and he gave to the general Swedish public the opportunity of reading one of the greatest world classics in their own language. ""Marcus Wallenberg, lecturer in Greek in Linköping gymnasium and later bishop in the diocese of Linköping, was the author of the first complete Swedish translation of the Iliad (1814-1815) and the Odyssey (1819-1821). The preface to the first volume of the Iliad gives readers to understand that Wallenberg had been observing the translations of Homer with great interest. These, he says, had made him hope that it would appear soon in a complete Swedish hexametric translation, a translation so faithful that it would preserve the spirit of the original and reproduce the effect of the Greek verse.48 When no Swedish Iliad appeared, he started working on a translation of that sort, even though he had no intention of publishing it."" (ibid. p. 169)‎

‎Very rare first edition of Salel's groundbreaking translation of The Iliad, constituting the first serious attempt at a modern verse rendering of either the Iliad or the Odyssey and one of the most important Homer-translations ever made. This first successful version of the Iliad in modern French verse served as the basis for other early vernacular translations, perhaps most famously the first English (Arthur Hall, 1581), which is a direct translation of Salal's. This splendid work is furthermore renowned for its beauty and is considered ""one of the handsomest books printed at Paris"" (Fairfax Murray). The translation includes the first 10 books of the Iliad. Salal died, before he could finish the remaining books, which were translated by Amadis Jamyn and published in 1577. ""Hugues Salel was a compatriot of Clement Marot, Eustorg de Beaulieu, and Olivier de Magny. He was born, according to the Abbé Goujet, toward the end of 1504, in Casals, Quercy, in P6rigord (Cahors). He is therefore, like several of the poets of the first half of the century, a man of the South. Salel began writing verse at a very early age. At the order of the king, Francis I, he undertook a translation of the Iliad. As a reward he was made ""valet de c hambre'"" of the King, and in 1540 we find him as the first ""abbé commendataire"" of the abbey of Saint-Chéron of the diocese of Chartres. From letters of the King, dated from Fontainebleau in 1544 (January 18), we learn of the permission granted to Salel to publish his translation of the Iliad""… (Hugues Salel, Poet and Translator (uchicago.edu)) ""The history of the first translations of the Homeric poems into the main European languages is fascinating, for it often reveals both the political and cultural mood of the recently created European nations. With the multiplication of printed editions of the poems, an increasingly larger pool of scholars made enthusiastic attempts to translate an ancient language into a new idiom. These new versions were not only philological achievements at that time but also a reason for national pride, since an ancient epic could be made alive within the context of new national exploits. The second half of the sixteenth century represents the high point in the assimilation of Homer into French humanist culture. Unlike England… France, and particularly Paris, quickly followed Italy's example to provide its own Homeric texts... This trend was particularly strong after the founding of the Còllege de Lecteurs Royaux by François I in 1530. This institution was established to teach the three ancient languages-Greek, Latin, and Hebrew-and to provide its students with editions and commentaries of ancient texts. Moreover, French translations also contributed to the awareness of the Homeric epics. The first successful version in modern French verse was made by Hugues Salel who translated the first ten books of the ""Iliad"" (From the exhibition ""Translating Homer"", Curated by Pablo Alvarez, Special Collections Library). Ezra Pound in his essay on Salel calls this translation of Homer ""delightful… he has authenticity of conversation as would be demanded by an intelligent audience not yet laminated with aesthetics"" capable of recognizing reality. He has the repetitions of the chanson de gestes. Of all the French and English versions, I think Salel alone gives any hint of some of these characteristics' (Homer: Printed editions of the Iliad and Odyssey in Greek and in Translations and Landmarks in Homeric Scholarship). ""The first serious attempts at a modern verse rendering (of the Iliad and Odyssey) were made in France by Hugues Salel, with his 1545 version of the Iliad"" (Gilbert Highet, The Classical tradition: Greek and Roman Influences on Western Literature, p. 114). The book is renowned for its splendid woodcuts, one at the beginning of each book. These woodcuts are set within magnificent ornamental borders containing the French royal arms and ""are clearly influenced by Geoffrey Tory with their lack of shading and outline depiction of the figures, and may be the work of the Maître à l'F gothique (Brun's appellation), Mortimer's F artist (sometimes identified as the Lyonese printer François Fradin), whose woodcuts illustrate several of Denys Janot's imprints. The italianate style introduced into the French book by Tory, and continued in volumes from the press of Denys Janot, reaches its height in these illustrations."" (Mortimer). The work is very rare, and we have only been able to locate three complete copies sold at aution over the last 50 years. Brunet III, 290Harvard/Mortimer 293‎

‎Exceedingly scarce first edition of the very first translation of any part of the Odyssey or the Iliad to appear in Italian translation. This slim volume constitutes a milestone in the history of the Homer-reception and is the earliest known version of any part of the Homeric corpus (naturally not counting the Batracomiomachia) to appear in Italian. The Italians had to wait another 20 years for another part of the Homeric corpus to see the light of day in their own language. ""There is no doubt that Italy played a central role in the diffusion of the Homeric text among Italian humanists and the rest of Europe. It seems, however, that at the end of the sixteenth century, French scholars and publishers were the ones to take over Italy's leadership and advance Homeric studies in Europe. The first translation of Homer into Italian is the version of book 1 of the Iliad by Francesco Gussano, published in Venice in 1544. The first edition of Lodovico Dolce's translation in octaves of both the Iliad and the Aeneid was published posthumously in 1570. "" (Translating Homer"", Curated by Pablo Alvarez, Special Collections Library). ""In Italy, Homer's entry into the vernacular was far slower: partial translations of the ""Iliad"" dribbled out in 1544 (Gussano), 1564 (""Iliad"" 1-5, Paolo la Badessa), 1570 (""Iliad"" I, Luigi Groto Cieco)... But a complete Italian Iliad did not appear until ... 1620."" (Jessica Wolfe in: Cambridge Guide to Homer, pp. 496-97). The work is of the utmost scarcity, and we have not been able to trace a single copy at auction anywhere in the world within the last 50 years at least.According to OCLC, only six libraries worldwide own a copy, four being in the US, and two in the UK.

‎Scarce second issue (Greasse calls it “réproduction"") of the first Divo-edition of The Odyssey, the first printed official ""Versio Latina"", which was the first complete Latin text of the Odyssey available in print and one of the most influential versions the masterpiece ever to appear. ""The Versio Latina, or Latin translation of the works of Homer, has existed since the 14th century, but was first printed, under the name of Andreas Divus, in 1537. It is a crib, to give it no finer name, but a crib which had immense influence, being the first introduction to Homer for generations of mediaeval and early modern scholars."" (Introduction by Hefyd to the Libri Vox-version of Book 6 of the Odyssey). Divo's Latin translation came to greatly dominate Homeric reading in the 16th century and became one of the most influential versions of the Homeric corpus ever to appear. The official “Versio Latina” of Homer was the first complete Latin text of the Odyssey available in print. The first edition was printed in Venice in 1537, and the present second edition/issue was printed the following year, in 1538, in Paris (another edition, by Giunta, appeared in 1538 as well. We can establish no precedency between them). While several other versions of the Odyssey had appeared earlier, Divo's Latin translation with the Batrachomyomachia and Homeric hymns in Latin versions by Aldus Manutius and Georgius Dartona came to greatly dominate the reading of the Odyssey in the 16th century and became one of the most influential versions of text ever to appear. This came to be the standard Latin version of The Odyssey for centuries to come. It was this version of the text that Chapman used for his translation into English in 1598, and it was used directly by Ezra Pound in his long poem ""The Cantos"" more than three centuries later. Christian Wechel, or Chrestien Wechel (1495-1554) was a German book printer, who set up his business in Paris. He was the founder of a printing dynasty, succeeded by his son Andreas Wechel who fled France after the massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day in 1572. Christian himself had run into trouble when he published Erasmus' De eso interdicto carnium (1534). Wechel used his famous Pegasus device here: ""[...] the device incorporates a caduceus framed by two horns of plenty and surmounted by Pegasus, the flying horse, and supported at the bottom by two hands joined together. His choice is interesting because in the sixteenth century, the figure of Pegasus personified the prestige acquired through the practice of ‘virtu’, thus reflecting the printer’s ambitions while at the same time, his subtly blending of ancient Greek pagan knowledge and Christian morality. The use of Pegasus, a Greek mythological figure, also underlines Wechel’s appreciation of Hellenistic knowledge, which was at the heart of his enterprise. In fact, in the most quoted version of the myth, Pegasus is described as a creature born of Medusa’s blood when Perseus cut off her head, making it a symbol of poetic inspiration."" (edwardworthlibrary.ie) Carl Eduard Wagener (1842-1920) was a German classical philologist and teacher. In academic circles, he is particularly known as the editor of Christian Friedrich Neue's Morphology of the Latin language (""Neue-Wagener""). Adams H773 Graesse III:332‎
