1888 Dante Alighieri Divine Comedy Inferno Purgatory Paradise Hell Gustave DORE

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

Fine illustrated edition of Dante’s Inferno as well as a folio edition of Dante’s Purgatory and Paradise, both published by Cassell.

Dante’s “Divine Comedy” is one of the most important and long-lasting works for literature. This rare English edition, translated by H.F. Cary, is Cary’s most famous and important work. In 1814, Cary published his translation on his own, as publishers would not take on the risk. This particular undated edition is quite rare and is illustrated with plates of Gustave Dore!
