Speculum heroicum principis omnium temporum poëtarum Homeri : id est, argumenta xxiiij librorum Iliados in quibus veri principis imago poëticè, elegantissime exprimitur = les XXIIII livres d'Homere reduict en tables demonstratives figurées
A 1613 illustrated edition of Homer's Iliad, printed in Utrecht and Arnhem, presenting the twenty-four books as Latin and French argument plates made by engraver Crispijn van de Passe for a learned readership. The engravings are small, dense black-and-white plates with framed scenes of armoured warriors, crowds and heavenly figures on clouds, showing how a designer might stage a narrative sequence of compact, bordered panels with strong figure grouping and dramatic cloud arrangements.
