The Latin Editions. The first Latin edition was printed at Milan in 1539. It is of exceeding rarity, and has escaped the vigilance of Brunet and Grsse. Pre Franois Van Ortroy, the noted Bollandist (whom few things escape), was the first to call attention to a copy in the Ambrosian Library, and it is the only copy known to exist. (See Analecta Bollandiana, xix. 460.) The second Latin edition was published nearly 400 years later, in 1894, under the editorship of Professor Edoardo Alvisi, in the Collezione di Opuscoli Danteschi inediti o rari diretta da G. L. Passerini.[1] Professor Alvisis edition has no pretensions to being critical: his sole object in publishing it was to supply an illustration to part of Canto XI. of the Paradiso. This edition has, perhaps justly, been decried for its entire want of critical apparatus, but it at least served to call attention to a gem that had hitherto slumbered uncared-for in parchment Codexes. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
