It's a very rare find

FYI, a treatise is not the same as a treaty.
Don’t tell them that

If anybody's wondering... (Youtube link)
Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.
The description says "psychological thriller", but the cinematography is giving me "Netflix romcom".

Glasses make you more clever. This is why I wear a higher prescription than I actually need.

Left end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare
Middle of the bell curve: haha she's stupid because Homer is from ancient Greece
Right end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare
(The Illiad as a modern translated work can have multiple editions from an author)
She obviously meant the first edition Penguin classics paperback.

Which Pope?
Alexander Pope.

It was a long time ago and they were just guessing at what written language was even going to look like. That they got it in perfect English minus one word is remarkable.

Actual Right End: that's not what you'd refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you're an idiot
You say, as you spell 'The Illiad' in English, the earliest instance of which was translated in the 1600s.

I’m also in possession of original hand-written letters by Jesus Christ himself, inside the original envelope complete with the “par avion” stamp that my neighbour gifted me.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's okay because when your friend decides to give you a makeover so you can be "hot" they just need to take your glasses off after they fix your hair. It's fine really. No issues at all. Why did you have them on in the first place?

op said first edition, not signed
I can do a first edition of the Bible. No guarantees on which edition though.
-
I can get you a signed edition of the Bible right now as long as you don’t care which company printed it or who signs it
buy bible, sign out myself, eBay, profit

What's like the coolest, most impressive literary book you can think of? But it has to be something most idiots will recognize.
I don't know, The Iliad?
Awesome. I need a rare book for this screenplay I'm writing. "First edition, signed copy..."
every copy can be a signed copy, just get a pen

This guy could sell a letter written (in French!) by Jesus himself, among other rarities
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Vrain-LucasSome people deserve to be ripped off. It seems like this guy didn't even try to make it convincing, yet they still sold.

Wait what.. that makes no sense. I haven't seen this movie; was it a satire or like a fourth wall break or some sort of a joke?
