Specialist Notes
FIRST EDITION, enriched by various illustrations, of this analysis of Dante's Inferno, interesting above all from a linguistic point of view. In it the publisher Dortelata introduced some spelling reforms, including the accentuation of all the syllables, in order to show the correct Florentine pronunciation. The edition is dedicated to Cosimo de' Medici.
