Description
London: A. Strahan for T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1802. First Complete Edition in English. Near Fine. First edition of the first full translation of Dante's Divine Comedy into English. Octavo. Three volumes bound in contemporary full calf with gilt stamping and raised bands to spine. Light rubbing to bindings, darkening to spines; shallow chip to head of Volume III. Tanning and light foxing to interiors, particularly the title page of Volume I, joints repaired at an early date, usual wear and toning due to age; last textual leaf of Volume II is partially detached along the top half. Housed in a custom chemise slipcase with green gilt-stamped morocco spine over green cloth. An important edition which brought Dante's epic work to an English speaking audience for the first time in its completeness, also marking the first publication in English of the Purgatorio and the Paradiso; the Inferno is here is in its fourth publication in English, following the first edition of 1782, and Boyd's 1785 Dublin and London editions. This edition was also instrumental in "assisting to re-establish an audience for Dante, whose reputation had suffered a decline in the previous century." A fantastic set in a beautiful contemporary binding, housed in a custom slipcase.

Description
Verona: Officina Bodoni, 1973. No. 131 OF 160 COPIES. 255 x 182 mm. (10 x 6 3/8"). Two volumes. With an epilogue by Giovanni Mardersteig. Publisher's stiff vellum backed with green morocco, top edges gilt. WITH 68 FINE HAND-COLORED WOODCUTS by Ann Bramanti (66 of these full-page), colored via pochoir by Daniel Jacomet to recreate the illuminated miniature effect of the British Library colored copy of the Veronese Aesop of 1479 (upon which the present edition is based). Printed on Magnani mouldmade paper with goose watermark. Volume I: the Latin text of the 1479 edition, with Italian translation; volume II: the English text, based on Caxton's 1482 translation. Prospectus laid in. Mardersteig/Schmoller 182. ◆Vellum grain showing variation, as always, otherwise in mint condition. This beautiful limited edition of Aesop is generally considered to be the finest book from Officina Bodoni, and is thought by many to be among the half dozen greatest private press books ever printed. Probably the most important (certainly the longest-lived) 20th century Continental private press, Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig, who later changed his first name to Giovanni. Like Sweynheym and Pannartz, the first printers in Italy, Mardersteig was born in Germany, but moved to Italy as an adult and set up his hand press in a small village there. Will Carter has called Mardersteig "probably the finest pressman the world has ever seen or is ever likely to see," and it is difficult to overstate the pleasure derived from the precision of the Officina Bodoni books. Based on a beautiful hand-colored copy of the Aesop of Giovanni Alvise, the third printer in Verona, the Officina Bodoni Aesop celebrates the golden anniversary of Mardersteig's founding of his press..
