Bernardo's son scholar and future cardinal Pietro Bembo 1470-1547 collaborated with Aldus to refine the texts of the Commedia which he published in 1502 as Le terze rime. This 1515 second edition featuring Bembo's diagrams of sins was the first illustrated Aldine Commedia. It was published six months after Aldus's death on 6 February 1515 and dedicated by Andrea Torresano Aldo's father-in-law to the poet Vittoria Colonna 1492-1547.Provenance: From the library of George Hamilton-Gordon 4th Earl of Aberdeen sometime Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister from 1852 until 1855. Educated at Harrow and St John's College Cambridge Aberdeen embarked on the Grand Tour in 1802 during the peace of Amiens. His travels took him from Paris - where his connection to William Pitt the Younger secured a meeting with Napoleon Bonaparte - to Rome Naples Sicily Malta Constantinople and Athens. In Athens he sought to purchase friezes from the Parthenon for which he was publicly critiqued by his cousin Lord Byron but found Lord Elgin had preceded him. He returned to England via Venice Vienna and Berlin in 1804. He was also a fellow of the Royal Society president of the Society of Antiquaries from 1811-46 and a member of the Society of Dilettanti.Reputedly fluent in six languages including Italian Aberdeen was seemingly well-versed in Dante. In an August 1851 letter to Aberdeen addressing the Italian revolutions of 1848 Scottish writer Charles Macfarlane 1799-1858 invoked Purgatorio to describe the turbulence writing 'Yet even in the combustion of 1848 the passing from Turkey to Naples was like going from hell to purgatory. You read Dante my Lord - Per correr miglior acqua Alza la vela sic .' Macfarlane p. 40. In the same letter MacFarlane mentions Dante's first canticle in relation to the assassination of a parliamentary deputy for Salerno by a priest called Peluso: 'But my Lord Aberdeen send Peluso to the worst bolgia in the Inferno of Dante and still you will not criminate for his act either the King of the Two Sicilies or his Majesty's Government' ibid. p. 34. This Aldine edition with Aberdeen's crest and motto blocked to both boards in gilt is most likely the copy he studied.Ahmanson-Murphy 136; BM STC Italian p. 209; EDIT 16 CNCE 1150; Adams D-88; Index Aureliensis XI pp. 261-62; Renouard Alde 73 8.
