Dante Alighieri 1265 1321
VISION; or HELL PURGATORY AND PARADISE of Dante Alighieri. Translated by The Rev. Henry Francis Cary M.A.With the Life of Dante Chronological View of His Age Additional Notes and Index.
London: Henry G. Bohn 1860. A very early printing of the new corrected edition of the first modern translation of Dante into English. Additionally in this edition is affixed a Life of Dante Chronological view of his age Notes and an Index. With an engraved frontispiece of Dante Alighieri. 8vo in a very handsome contemporary binding of three quarter tan calf over green textured cloth the back and corner-pieces tooled in blind the spine with multi-ruled and dashed raised bands additionally ruled with a wave-like tool one compartment with a salmon morocco label gilt ruled and lettered page edges speckled. xlviii 543 pp. A very fine copy beautifully preserved in every way a lovely and appealing printing in an equally lovely binding. A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TRANSLATION OF DANTE INTO ENGLISH. 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.<br> It took Cary many years to make the complete translation. Indeed the parts of the COMEDY were released over a number of years from 1805 on. Cary was influenced greatly by the Romantics and by Coleridge in particular. Though the text was finished in mid-1812 Cary was unable to secure a publisher and was after some years obliged even with his very modest means to publish the work at his own expense. It at first excited little attention but it came under great notice primarily because of the applause of Coleridge whom Cary had met while pacing the beach reading Homer to his son. ‘Sir’ said Coleridge attracted by the sound of the Greek ‘yours is a face I should know. I am Samuel Taylor Coleridge.’ “During the rest of the day the wondrous stranger discoursed on Homer making young Cary ‘feel as one from whose eyes the scales were just removed’ and in the evening carried home the translation of Dante of which he had never even heard. The next day he was able to repeat whole pages and his winter course of lectures gave it celebrity. The new and first edition published by a general publisher was secured in 1819 and ever since.it has remained the translation which on Dante’s name being mentioned occurs first to the mind.†Henry G. Bohn hardcover

Dante Alighieri 1265 1321
VISION OR HELL PURGATORY AND PARADISE of Dante Alighieri. Translated by the Rev. Henry Francis Cary M.A. With the Life of Dante Chronological View of his Age Additional Notes and Index.
London: George Bell and Sons 1901. An early twentieth century edition using Cary's translation the standard translation for centuries. With frontispiece portrait. 8vo in a handsome and pleasing binding of three quarter vellum and light-green cloth with decorative designs to the spine panel and with morocco label lettered in gilt border work to the binding executed in gilt t.e.g. xlviii 543 pp The binding tight and very well preserved the book clean and strong and appealing. A HANDSOMELY BOUND COPY OF THIS IMPORTANT TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH. 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.<br> Cary was influenced greatly by the Romantics and by Coleridge in particular. Cary had met Coleridge earlier in his life while pacing the beach one day reading Homer to his son. “‘Sir’ said Coleridge attracted by the sound of the Greek ‘yours is a face I should know. I am Samuel Taylor Coleridge.’ During the rest of the day the wondrous stranger discoursed on Homer making young Cary ‘feel as one from whose eyes the scales were just removed’ and in the evening carried home the translation of Dante of which he had never even heard. The next day he was able to repeat whole pages and his winter course of lectures gave it celebrity. †Dict of Nat’l Bio<br> It took Cary many years to make the complete translation. Indeed the parts of the COMEDY were released over a number of years from 1805 on. Though the text was finished in mid-1812 Cary was unable to secure a publisher and was after some years obliged even with his very modest means to publish the work at his own expense. The new and first edition published by a general publisher was secured in 1819. The translation received little public attention at first but eventually became well-known primarily because of the praise of Coleridge in his lectures at the Royal Institution. Moreover an article by Ugo Foscolo in the Edinburgh Review with additions by Samuel Rogers lauded the translation and together with Coleridge’s support led to a general recognition of its merit. Cary’s translation was acknowledged as being original rather than imitative and true to Dante’s original text. <br> This is a particularly attractive copy of the Cary translation.

Dante Alighieri 1265 1321
OPERA CON L'ESPOSITIONI DI CHRISTOFORO LANDINO et D'Alessandro Vellutello. Sopra la sua Comedia dell'Inferno del Purgatorio del Paradiso. Con tavole argomenti & allegorie & riformato riveduto & ridotto alla sua vera lettura per Francesco Sansovino Fiorentino
Venice: Appresso Gio. Battista & Gio. Bernardo Sessa fratelli 1578. Second issuance of the first edition with a portrait of Dante. With a fine woodcut title page and 96 woodcut illustrations including three full-page 77 large cuts in the text and numerous head- and tailpieces. Printer's woodcut device on the final leaf. Folio 320 x 218 mm in a binding of handsome contemporary antique Italian vellum over boards. Original calligraphic titling on the spine panel in Renaissance style. 28 ff. 163 4 ff. 164-393. A copy in a pleasing state of preservation. The text leaves are crisp quite clean with just a few normal blemishes here and there. Some typical toning to a few of the quires as is normal with the printing of this book. Only the most occasional of the usual spotting of staining. Dante portrait outlined in pen. RARE 1596 EDITION OF THIS HISTORIC PRINTING OF ONE OF THE GREAT BOOKS IN THE MIND OF MAN. This is the highly important edition of Dante edited by Francisco Sansovino incorporating two commentaries: that of Christoforo Landino which first appeared in the Florentine edition of 1481 and the noteworthy commentary of Alessandro Velutello first published at Venice in 1544. The volume includes extensive introductory matter by all three commentators and a running commentary that virtually overwhelms the poem itself.<br> The woodcuts in this edition are taken from those in Velutello's edition of 1544 and represent a departure both iconographically and stylistically from those in the Brescia 1487 edition--they appear more accomplished and more confident in execution. Francesco Sansovino recovered Vellutello’s commentary never printed in Italy again until this time except for a Lyonese reprint of 1551. This edition printed here first in 1564 is very important because it is richly illustrated with many woodcuts taken from the edition of 1544 printed by Marcolini. The portrait of Dante on the title-page inspired in Vasari’s tradition is very famous and this edition is in fact commonly know as ‘of the big nose’. The sources of the portrait have probably to be found in two paintings by Vasari now at the Oriel College of Oxford and at the Museum of Fine Arts in Cleveland. Appresso Gio. Battista, & Gio. Bernardo Sessa, fratelli hardcover

Aldine Printing Dante Alighieri 1265 1321
TERZE RIME Lo 'Nferno E'L Purgatorio E'L Paradiso Di Dante Alaghieri
Venice: in Aedib. Aldi. Accuratissime men. Aug MDII. Venezia. Aldo Manuzio 1502. The first Aldine printing of The Divine Comedy and the Aldine “pocket book†format and the first use of the anchor device. With the famous Aldine anchor device on the final leaf. 8vo; 160mm x 95mm in a beautiful antique binding of full polished vellum the spine decorated with gilt ruled raised bands separating the compartments two of the compartments with lettering labels of dark maroon morocco gilt lettered the covers with triple gilt fillet rules at the borders marbled endleaves red edges. 244 leaves and with the f.82 blank present. A very handsome and desirable copy very nicely bound. Internally crisp and and quite bright and clean throughout four of the leaves a bit shorter than the others but with the same edge colour and clearly part of the text-block for a great time last leaf with small restoration to the upper outside corner. RARE AND IMPORTANT AND ONE OF THE GREAT BOOKS IN LITERARY AND PRINTING HISTORY. The first Aldine printing of Dante's Divine Comedy; the first edition of Dante to appear in a more handy portable format all previous editions were folios; the first book to contain the famous Aldine device of the anchor and dolphin though Renouard suggests that a portion of the edition was issued without the device. According to Brunet this is a much sought-after edition and copies are difficult to find in complete and desirable condition. This book for all intents and purposes inaugurated the beginning of literary publishing by Aldus by which books became available to the general publis. This then is a book of the greatest importance.<br> It was Aldus who provided the first edition of Dante to appear in a more handy portable format all previous editions were folios; it was the first book to contain the famous Aldine device of the anchor and dolphin though Renouard suggests that a portion of the edition was issued without the device. According to Brunet this is a much sought-after edition and copies are difficult to find in complete and desirable condition.<br> Printed in characteristic Aldine cursive type this is a well margined and finely impressed copy.<br> “Dante’s theme the greatest yet attempted in poetry was to explain and justify the Christian cosmos through the allegory of a pilgrimage. To him comes Virgil the symbol of philosophy to guide him through the two lower realms of the next world which are divided according to the classifications of the ‘Ethics’ of Aristotle. Hell is seen as an inverted cone with its point where lies Lucifer fixed in ice at the centre of the world and the pilgrimage from it a climb to the foot of and then up the Purgatorial Mountain. Along the way Dante passes Popes Kings and Emperors poets warriors and citizens of Florence expiating the sins of their life on earth. On the summit is the Earthly Paradise where Beatrice meets them and Virgil departs. Dante is now led through the various spheres of heaven and the poem ends with a vision of the Deity. The audacity of his theme the success of its treatment the beauty and majesty of his verse have ensured that his poem never lost its reputation. The picture of divine justice is entirely unclouded by Dante’s own political prejudices and his language never falls short of what he describes.†PMM in Aedib. Aldi. Accuratissime men.

VISION; or HELL PURGATORY AND PARADISE of Dante Alighieri. Translated by The Rev. Henry Francis Cary M.A.With a Life of Dante Chronological View of His Age Additional Notes and Index.
London: Frederick Warne and Co. circa 1880’s. The “Albion†edition and a handsome early edition of this work - the first modern translation of Dante into English. Additionally included in this edition is a Life of Dante Chronological view of his age Notes and an Index. With a frontispiece engraving of Dante in period dress. Thick 8vo bound in the publisher’s full green ribbed cloth gilt lettered on the spine and on the upper cover. xlvii 496 pp. A very handsome copy clean fresh and sound. A HANDSOME EARLY EDITION OF CARY’S HIGHLY IMPORTANT TRANSLATION OF DANTE INTO ENGLISH. 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.<br> It took Cary many years to make the complete translation. Indeed the parts of the COMEDY were released over a number of years from 1805 on. Cary was influenced greatly by the Romantics and by Coleridge in particular. Though the text was finished in mid-1812 Cary was unable to secure a publisher and was after some years obliged even with his very modest means to publish the work at his own expense. It at first excited little attention but it came under great notice primarily because of the applause of Coleridge whom Cary had met while pacing the beach reading Homer to his son. ‘Sir’ said Coleridge attracted by the sound of the Greek ‘yours is a face I should know. I am Samuel Taylor Coleridge.’ “During the rest of the day the wondrous stranger discoursed on Homer making young Cary ‘feel as one from whose eyes the scales were just removed’ and in the evening carried home the translation of Dante of which he had never even heard. The next day he was able to repeat whole pages and his winter course of lectures gave it celebrity. The new and first edition published by a general publisher was secured in 1819 and ever since.it has remained the translation which on Dante’s name being mentioned occurs first to the mind.†Frederick Warne and Co. hardcover
