Moscow, Dalla Stamperia N. S. Vsevolojsky, 1817. 8vo, pp. vi, 7 – [256]; a few minor spots and stains, tear to one leaf repaired with loss of a couple of letters; generally in good condition in contemporary half roan, spine gilt, hinges worn, head and tail of spine chipped. First (and only) edition of this early anthology of Italian literature, probably the first anthology of Italian literature to be published in Russia. The work is divided into three sections, all arranged chronologically, the first containing prose pieces by Sannazzaro, Machiavelli, Boccaccio, Guicciardini, Galileo, etc; the second containing poetry by Dante (10 pages from L’Inferno and Del Purgatorio, possibly the first appearance of Dante in Russia), Petrarch, Politian, Bembo, Ariosto, Tasso, etc; and the third section containing ‘Poeti moderni’ such as Salvator Rosa, Metastasio, Parini, Monti, and Alfieri, and including also a fragment of Ossian. No edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy in Russian appears to have been published until the 1840s.Very rare: OCLC cites one copy only at the University of Tilburg, the Netherlands.
