A propos de cet article

NEW EDITION. Leather-bound with fore-edge painting; hardcover; folio (38 x 29 x 5 cm); pp. xxiv, 183 + 76 full-page illustrations outside the pagination. English text translated by Henry Francis Cary, with critical and explanatory notes, an account of the life of Dante, and a chronology; the verse and biography in single column; chronology and footnotes in double columns. Exquisitely bound in contemporary full crimson morocco with vanishing fore-edge paintings on all three sides; all page edges gilt; marbled endpapers; portrait frontispiece with tissue guard; title-page printed in red and black; illustrated with seventy-five designs by the renowned Gustave Doré, each with a captioned tissue guard. Contents: Life of Dante; Chronological View of the Age of Dante; The Vision of Hell, Canto I - XXXIV. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure with the hinges and joints intact. Very slight shelf wear to covers. Contents complete and largely well-preserved, with some spotting to the title and a few thumb marks. The fore edge paintings remaining bright and fresh. Scarce thus. Notes: A wonderful copy with remarkable vanishing fore-edge paintings on all three sides by an unknown artist depicting a portrait of Dante and scenes from his work. Dore's spectacular illustrations bring Dante's visions to life in a style and manner to satisfy artistic appetites both subtle and grotesque.

Cary's famous translation has long been considered the first modern rendering of Dante's timeless epic into English. While previous English translations prior to Cary's had been accomplished in the 18th century, none were able to transfer into the English language, the beauty and richness of language for which Dante has forever been revered.…
