The Iliad, Vol. 1

The Iliad, Vol. 1 Synopsis

Excerpt from The Iliad, Vol. 1: Edited, With Apparatus Criticus, Prolegomena Notes, and Appendices; Books I-XII

My warmest thanks are due to the French Ministry of Education, and to M. Delisle of the Bibliotheque Nationale, for lending to the British Museum for my use the three valuable mss. Quoted in this edition as P, Q, R. I must add, with deep regret, that my sense of obligation is all the greater because England refuses similar courtesy to continental students.
