Specialist Notes

This prestigious edition edited by Corrado Ricci is remarkable for its rich iconography, which provides an exceptional historical-topographical illustration of the Divine Comedy. It features live photographs of places that "today are more or less as they were in Dante's time," and reproductions of 13th- and 14th-century artworks for "characters and objects the poet recalls." Mambelli, no. 485
