This edition prints all three parts of Dante's great poem about the journey
of the soul - INFERNO, PURGATORIO and PARADISO - in the recent English
translation by Allen Mandelbaum, with an introduction and explanatory notes
on each canto by the noted Dante scholar, Peter Armour. This is the only
reasonably priced hardback edition of one of the world's greatest
masterworks and should prove to be the most accessible for students and
general readers alike. It includes Botticelli's glorious and relatively
unknown illustrations of THE DIVINE COMEDY, drawn in the 1480s.
