Dante question
I was looking at one of my copies of THE COMEDY this evening, and
noticed that no translator was listed. It was published by Doubleday in 1947 for the Literary Guild. The illustrations are by Umberto Romano. Does anyone know whose work the translation is? |

I do not know, but I suggest checking the text against that of the Heritage Press edition from 1944, which was translated by Melville Best Anderson. The illustrators are different (Heritage used Wm. Blake illustrations), but I have noticed at times that the two publishers use the same texts. -- Francis A. Miniter Oscuramente libros, laminas, llaves siguen mi suerte.
