Dealer Notes
The type for this microscopic edition was cast in 1850, when an attempt was made to set up the Divina commedia. The work was abandoned shortly, but was resumed in 1873. The colophon records the names of those concerned in the work. 1,000 copies were printed and the type destroyed. cf. Cornell Dante catalog. Giuseppe Geche - typesetter. Luigi Baldan - printer.
