Specialist Notes

A beautiful illustrated edition. The copperplate engravings are by Giuseppe Gandini based on sketches by Federigo Faruffini and Carlo Barbieri. The edition contains important annotations by Tommaseo, who prefaces each canticle with a discourse and adds his remarkable Discourses on the symbolic and literary meanings of the poem to each volume. Mambelli, 394.
