Description

Important edition of Dante's poem that starts from the work of Baldassarre Lombardi, published in 1791, with the philological corrections of the comparison with the Cassinese and Caetani codices. To the three volumes of the Cantiche is then added the fourth volume "The main things belonging to the Divine Comedy, that is the rhyming in its entire verses, the vision of Alberico, and more that concerns it, several notes and additional observations, the life of the poet, the examination of his work, the bibliography, the index, etc. etc." which enriches the apparatus of notes and comments present in the first three volumes. Our example is actually composed of the juxtaposition of two distinct works: The Divine Comedy of De Romanis and a collection of prints published by the engraver Tommaso Piroli in Rome in 1802, the title page of which appears before the title page of Volume I of De Romanis ( "Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy That is Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. Composed by Giovanni Flaxman English sculptor and engraved by Tommaso Piroli Romano"). It is about 110 tavv f.t. (38 for Inferno, 38 for Purgatory and 34 for Paradise) engraved by Piroli starting from the neoclassical drawings by John Flaxman, with an unmistakable linear handwriting. These 110 tables, inserted by the bookbinder in the Dante text, are added to the original 3 tables with the illustrations of Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso, present at the beginning of each Canticle, and to the portrait of Dante by Raphael, in the antiporta to the fourth volume.
