1488 Homer Demetrius Damilas Florence Edited by Demetrius Chalcondyles, the book was printed using the Greek type that Demetrius Damilas had previously used in Milan. The editorial project was completed thanks to the financial support of Giovanni Acciaiuoli and the patronage of Neri and Bernardo de' Nerli together with, the latter also author of an opening dedication to Piero de' Medici. The edition included not only the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also the so-called Homeric Hymns, the Batrachomyomachia and passages on Homer taken from Plutarch, Herodotus and Dio Chrysostom.
