About This Item
Phaidon, 1947 4to (30 cm), 38 pp, 82 illustrations on unnumbered plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj stained and frayed at extremities, paper chipped at the head of the spine, endpapers toned, bookseller's ticket on front past-down). "In 1941 the British Museum acquired the finest surviving illuminated manuscript of Dante's Divine Comedy. Produced in the first half of the 15th century, it forms an ideal visual introduction to this great poem and marks a decisive stage of the interpretation of Dante's text. A selection of its richly imaginative miniatures is described and illustrated in this book." (from the blurb)
