This edition of The Odyssey was printed by Aldus Manutius in 1504.  As you can see, this text is in Greek and this edition features Manutius’ famous colophon at the beginning of the book.  

February marked the 500th anniversary of this great printer’s death, so we’ve been featuring a few of his works from our collection throughout the month.  If you’ve missed a few of them, we encourage you to check them out, or if you just want to brush up on your Aldus Manutius history, feel free to check out our blog!
