Originalhardcover. Condition: Gut. VIII, 568 p. leichte Bereibungen auf Hinterdeckel, Buchschnitt an einigen Stellen leicht angeschmutzt, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatz, sonst gut und sauber / slight rubbing on back cover, book edges slightly soiled in some places, pencil annotation on endpapers, otherwise good and clean. - PREFACE This Concise Dante Dictionary, based upon my Dictionary of Proper Names and Notable Matters in the Works of Dante, which, originally published in 1898, has now for some time been out of print, is offered to students and readers of Dante as a convenient hand-book, and companion to the Oxford edition of the complete works of Dante. The articles have been carefully revised, and, it is hoped, brought up to date throughout. A certain number of new articles have been added, comprising the names of persons and places mentioned in the tenzone, or poetical correspondence, between Dante and Forese Donati1 (which was included for the first time in the third edition of the Oxford Dante), and in the Latin poems addressed to Dante by Giovanni del Virgilio. On the other hand, the names which occur in the canzone, O patria, degna di trionfal fama (Canz. XVIII in the Oxford Dante), have been omitted. it having been established that this poem is not by Dante. As the scope of the book does not allow of references to authorities in the body of the work, I am glad to take this opportunity of repeating my acknowledgements to the writers specified in the Preface to the larger work, among whom I may specially mention Prof. Casini, the last edition of whose commentary on the Divina Commedia has been in constant requisition, as has that (published since the issue of the Dictionary) of Prof. Torraca. I am indebted for numerous corrections and additions to various reviews of the previous work, in particular to the instructive article by Prof. Michele Barbi in the Bullettino della Societa Dantesca Italiana. To this last-named periodical (now in its twenty-fifth year), a veritable storehouse of information on all matters Dantesque, which, under the able editorship, originally of Prof. Barbi, latterly of Prof. E. G. Parodi, has become indispensable to every serious student of Dante, I am under especial obligations. It may be explained that the reduction in the size of the work has been attained by condensation in the wording of the articles, where condensation was possible ; by the omission of the précis, or summaries, from various articles dealing with episodes in the Divina Comme di a-, by the substitution of references only for full-length quotations from chroniclers and commentators, and from authors cited or utilized by Dante; by the suppression of certain of the less important articles comprising notable matters ; and, lastly, by the omission as far as possible of controversial matter (such as discussions as to the dates of composition of Dantes various works, or as to the interpretation of the details of the mystic Procession in the Terrestrial Paradise, and the like). Though a large amount of interesting illustrative matter has thus necessarily been eliminated, it is hoped that, as far as essential information is concerned, the present book will be found no less useful than its predecessor.
