LA DIVINA COMMEDIA DI DANTE, with a marginal and interlinear COMMENTARY in LATIN, abridged from that of BENVENUTO OF IMOLA. The Inferno begins f. 1, with a vignette in the initial letter of Dante with Virgil; the Purgatorio f. 78b, with a similar vignette of the two poets in the boat; and the Paradiso f. 161, the initial vignette representing Beatrice shewing the Saviour in glory to Dante.
