1870 DANTE Alighieri The Vision of HELL Purgatory Paradise DIVINE COMEDY Cary



“The Vision; or, Hell, Purgatory, & Paradise of Dante Alighieri,” translated by Rev. Henry Francis Cary, is the English version of Dantes “The Divine Comedy.” This epic poem explores the souls journey to God through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, guided by the figures of Virgil, Beatrice, and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, representing reason, divine grace, and mysticism, respectively. Originally written in Tuscan dialect, which shaped modern Italian, the three-part poem combines allegory with realism. Carys translation captures the essence of Dantes narrative that intertwines spiritual redemption with literary innovation.



Published in New York by Hurst and Co., this rare, scarcely printed 19th-century edition of Dantes iconic work is enriched by Carys scholarly commentary, a chronology of Dantes life, and additional notes. Beautifully bound in decorative blue cloth, it is illustrated with stunning engraved plates.
