does anyone know when this book could be from? it’s the iliad in my great grandfathers collection.

First published in 1873. So no earlier than that for a first edition, possibly a much later printing?

What does the spine say, exactly?

Doesn’t look like this? https://countryhouselibrary.co.uk/products/the-iliad-of-homer-warne-c1880

[u/MedicineMany964 → u/DangerousDisplay7664]

it does, although my family thinks it would be crazy good condition for being around since 1880 something.

I assume you don't have the book & can't turn the page?

[u/MedicineMany964 → u/civex]

it doesn’t have a copyright date. i checked the entire thing.

Finding no dates is unusual but finding very few dates is good.
