La Commedia (Comm: Christophorus Landinus). Add: Marsilius Ficinus: Ad Dantem gratulatio [Latin & Italian]

Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321 · Venice : Octavianus Scotus · 3 pictures

La Commedia with Landino's commentary and Ficino's Ad Dantem gratulatio, a Latin and Italian edition by Dante Alighieri printed in Venice by Octavianus Scotus, held by the Boston Public Library. The pictures are bookplates and ownership marks: an engraved coat of arms with a helmet and crest for William Constable, a circular Boston Public Library seal with classical figures and a laurel wreath, and a red printed label with a cross and the letters O S M in a circle, which a designer might take as compact emblem layouts built on wreaths, shields and monograms.
