1877 EXQUISITE Divine Comedy DANTE Longfellow English STUNNING Gold BINDING

 

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

 

Dante’s “Divine Comedy” is one of the most important and long-lasting works for literature. In the eleventh Canto, Dante recounts the life of St. Francis of Assisi – part of Dante’s meeting great souls of philosophers and theologians. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, notable American poet, was responsible for translating the first American edition of Dante.

 

This English translation was so profound and important, that even subsequent foreign editions used Wadsworth Longfellow’s English. This was the case with this 19^th-century Routledge edition, which is noted for his exquisite binding!
