16mo. 401 pp. plus index. Full parchment yapp binding stitched with leather. Beautiful black, red and gilt calligraphic lettering on front cover and spine. Red fleur-de-lys at bottom right of front cover. Patterned blue, orange, and green enpapers (in the style of a Florentine paper). Book binder's ticket on ffep.: "Parchment Works. Giulio Gianinini, 19-20 Piazza Pitti, Florence". Founded in 1865, the artisan workshop of Giulio Gianinni has been in business for six generations and is known worldwide for its high-quality, hand-tooled leather book bindings. Tissue guarded frontispiece photogravure of bust of Dante. Title page printed in red and black with decorative border. Ten maps, diagrams, and tables. Binding tight and pages clean. Some foxing and age toning to edges. Though soiled, the covers give the book the appearance the old, vellum-bound tome which it imitates. Although it is not a first edition of the Temple Classics Dante (the first was in 1900), this appears to be an uncommon binding state. We offer a similarly bound copy of THE PARADISO OF DANTE ALIGHIERI as well.
