Creator
Dante Alighieri
Title
[Divina commedia]: Le Terze Rime.
Coverage
Venice
Publisher
Aldus Manutius
Date
1502
Description
I have many of Aldus Manutius’ octavos which form a core part of my collection, so it was difficult to choose one for this. The 1502 Dante is a classic of the series and was edited, like the earlier Petrarch, by Pietro Bembo. This copy is in particularly fine unsophisticated condition in its original contemporary Venetian blind stamped dark morocco binding.
