Molte Cose in Diversi Luoghi: The Early Printed Editions of Dante’s Commedia with the Comento by Cristoforo Landino and their Paratextual Features
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The article examines the material fortune of the editions of the Commedia with Cristoforo Landino’s Comento printed between 1484 and 1497. The fortune of Dante’s poem increased considerably following the publication of Landino’s text (1481), a refined exegetical tool that made the Commedia a sought-after object not only in bourgeois circles, but also among the public of courts and academies. Through the analysis of the paratextual and socioeconomic aspects linked to the production of the editions of the Commedia published in the territory of the Most Serene Republic in the late fifteenth century, the article reconstructs the social and material history of Dante publishing in the period preceding Aldo Manuzio’s ‘printing revolution’
