Look at this precious, tiny edition of The Divine Comedy. Look at it.

Published 1820 in the original Italian.

I have own five of these small leather editions. They are easy to find and relatively inexpensive. Very cool books.

La concubina di Titone antico: l’aurora. Dante, Purgatorio IX. I don’t know anything more beautiful
