Dante Alghieri; Di Pietro Fraticelli - La Divina Commedia

Firenze, G. Barbera, 1907. Cloth. A smart copy of Dante's classic narrative poem Divine Comedy, in the original Italian. Italian. New edition, revised by a Tuscan scholar. With a portrait frontispiece. A narrative poem divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, describing the author's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's journey towards God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin, followed by the penitent Christian life, and completed by the soul's ascent to God. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval worldview as it existed in the Western Church by the fourteenth century. This piece is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. Written by Dante Alighieri, widely known and often referred to in English mononymously as Dante, an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. With commentary by Pietro Fraticelli, an Italian scholar. In the original cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Light fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light age toning to the extremities. Further ageing to the endpapers with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
