Specialist Notes

Reproduction in heliochromy made for the sixth centenary of the Poet's death, with a run of 350 copies. The Trivulziano codex 1080 created in Florence by Francesco di ser Nardo da Barberino in 1337 is a membramenaceous volume that transmits one of the most important and ancient texts of the Comedy in an elegant chancery accompanied by miniatures attributed to the Master of the Dominican Effigies. The text closes with Chapters in third rhyme by Iacopo Alighieri and Bosone Novello da Gubbio. & Nbsp;
