Specialist Notes
Second edition of Sessa also called "del Nasone" because of the portrait of Dante on the frontispiece. It takes up the text of the Aldine edition of 1502 and combines for the first time the two authoritative commentaries of the Florentine humanist Cristoforo Landino and the Luccan scholar Alessandro Vellutello.
