Description:
|
First edition of the Divine Comedy with a Commentator; in the text the Commentator is erroneously credited to Benvenuto d'Imola. The Commentator includes Boccaccio's "Life of Dante", published here for the first time. A chapter from Iacopo da Dante is included in the additional historical material. The 'Rubriche di Dante' appear for the first time in this edition. They comprise a list of the first three or four words of each canto; the number of the canto; and a summary of its contents. They are found at the start of each cantica (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso), and the relevant material is then repeated at the head of each canto. Set in a miniature gothic type. Double column layout with the title of the cantica in the upper margin. Commentator: Jacopo della Lana, Commentator to Pur. 15.
