Specialist Notes

Splendid celebratory edition for the 600th anniversary of the Poet's death, edited by Carlo Toth, translated by Leo Negrelli and illustrated by the most famous Austrian artist. Von Bayros belonged to the decadent movement, his works often dealt with erotic and fantastic themes, with a decorative style that recalls Art Nouveau.
