Does anyone have a hardcover Iliad of the 1611 Chapman translation, and if so what publisher/year is it?
Looking online this is the only one I can find.

Mine is J.R. Smith, 1898, a reprint of a text that went through several editions in the late 19th century.

That would be N. Better's London folio edition. It seems to be undated judging by the Bodlean entry. Chapman had published editions of seven and twelve books earlier before the first complete edition.

Oh, you asked the question a year and a half ago. Hmmm.
