This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Singleton's edition of the "Divine Comedy", of which this is the first part, provides English-speaking readers w/ everything required to read & understand Dante's great masterpiece. The Italian text here is the edition of Giorgo Petrocchi, the leading Italian editor of Dante. Professor Singleton's lucid prose translations, facing the Italian in a line-for-line arrangement on ea. page, is smooth & literate. The companion volume, the Commentary, marshals every point of information the reader may require: vocabulary; grammar; identification of Dante's characters; historical sources of some of the incidents &, where pertinent, excerpts from those sources in their original languages & in translation; profound & clear analysis of the "Divine Comedy's" basic allegory. There is a complete bibliography of every aspect of Dante studies. Francis Fergusson has written of this edition: "We are very lucky that SIngleton is the great contemporary interpreter of Dante. It is clear that his work . . . supersedes everything else of the kind." * HIGHEST PRAISE for the translation of Professor Charles S. Singleton: "A SPLENDID translation. What TRIUMPHANT JOY it is to see the honest light of literality take over again, after ages of meretricious paraphrase." -Vladimir Nabokov - "With the publication of Singleton's edition of "The Divine Comedy", we have in English a truly SCHOLARLY edition which can at last vie w/ editions in Italian & German. This MONUMENTAL work will be INDISPENSABLE for all lover's of this masterpiece who wish to root it in its linguistic, historical & social reality." -Speculum * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXCELLENT copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
