DANTE Alighieri (1265-1321). La Commedia. Commentary by Christophorus Landinus and edited by Piero da Figino. -Rime diverse. Venice: Petrus de Plasiis, Cremonensis, 18 November 1491.
Chancery 2° (295 x 208mm). Collation: a10 B-Z8 a-q8 r6 AA4 (a1r blank, a1v commentary, B1r text with commentary surround, r2v colophon, Rime, AA1r tabula). 324 leaves. Canzoni in 3 columns, the table in two. 61 lines and headline. Type: 6:109R, 7:80R. Woodcut white-vine initials from several sets, 100 woodcuts, 2-line initial spaces. (Neat tear in first leaf repaired without loss, small stain on B1, fos. a1.10, a5.6, and AA1.4 rehinged.) Late 19th-century red morocco janseniste, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Provenance: contemporary marginal annotations (washed); Librairie Tulkens, Brussels (booklabel).
Fourth illustrated edition. All early illustrations for the Divine Comedy derive from those made by Botticelli, 19 of whose designs were engraved for the 1481 Florentine edition. The cuts used by Plasiis are very similar in design, character and quality to those used by Benalis and Capcasa in March of the same year, and they have been considered copies of that earlier edition. There are small differences in composition between the two sets, however, and Planiis's cuts are larger, measuring 83 x 85mm. Rather than one being copied from the other, Hind (II, 484) posited that, given the short interval of time between the two editions, the cuts were made by the same workshop which supplied each printer its own set. HCR 5950; GW 7970; BMC V, 270 (IB. 20863); Goff D-33; Sander 2314.
