Description

3 volumes. A LARGE PAPER COPY of the FIRST TRADE EDITION of the FIRST MODERN TRANSLATION of Dante into English in its complete form including all the parts of the trilogy. Preceded only by the privately printed edition issued by the author. Additionally, for this edition is affixed a Life of Dante, Notes and an Index. Tall 8vo, still bound in the original printer’s boards, untrimmed and uncut. VERY RARE THUS. lii, 303; xi, 309; 297, (28) index, (6) ads pp. and with all three half-titles as called for. A very rarely encountered set in excellent condition, essentially as pristine internally. The text-blocks are in wonderful condition, very finely preserved, the original boards are rubbed and the backstrips mostly missing on Vols I and III, but this is a set which has never been fiddled with and remains entirely unsophisticated and as originally offered from the printer.
