![]() ![]() This complete edition was greatly significant for the reception of Dante in the English speaking world, "assisting to re-establish an audience for Dante, whose reputation had suffered a decline in the previous century" (ODNB). This is a notably handsome copy in lavish contemporary red morocco. First complete edition in English of the Divine Comedy, and the first publication in English of the Purgatorio and the Paradiso the Inferno here marking its fourth publication in English, following the first edition of 1782, and Dublin and London editions by Boyd in 1785. ![]()
