Book desription: Albany, NY, U.S.A: State University of New York Press, 1974. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. This is a critical edition of Guido da Pisa's 14th century Commentary on Dante's Inferno, published in cooperation with the Dante Society of America for the first time from a manuscript copy at the Musee Conde in Chantilly; it was written within a few years of Dante's death by an author who was steeped in the theological, philosophical, and literary background of the period which produced the Commedia and had the ability to appreciate the greatness of its poetry; this is the original Latin text, not a translation; the editor, who provided an introduction and notes, was President of the Dante Society (brown cloth with faded gold lettering, corners bumped, slight edgewear, otherwise a good, clean, tight copy; a large, heavy volume, 765 pages)
