FIRST EDITION WITH COMPARISONS BETWEEN TASSIAN POSTS.

"The Pisan edition of 1830 is of fine workmanship as one would expect from a publisher of the stature of Firmin Didot, known for the creation of new types of characters and for technical progress in the art of typography. It features full-page portraits, in copperplate engraving, of Dante and Tasso. (...) The Pisa 1830 edition is the first to propose a direct comparison between various Tasso annotations to the Divine Comedy. Its merit is that of easy consultation and agile comparison, page by page, between the annotations and glosses in relation to Dante's text". From the letter to readers: "«One will also find here and there a few proposed lessons, which deserve to be considered; just as the other few notes seem to me to be very worthy of consideration, from which one can see what Tasso's genius sometimes found human in the verses of the divine poet».
