Dante 1481

https://www.printingrevolution.eu/dante-1481/ https://www.printingrevolution.eu/it/dante-1481/ In April 2021, to mark the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death in 1321, the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) began an illustrated census of the copies of this edition, funded by the Polonsky Foundation. It came to include 180 copies from 135 libraries. Dondi was the project's PI. Marina Venier was in charge of liaising with libraries and the collection of data and images; Camilla Marangoni oversaw the data entry into the database Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI), the uploading of the images to the Provenance Digital Archive (PDA) of CERL, and of the illustrations in the 1516 database; Venier and Marangoni also prepared the text of the webpage and identified the relevant verses for the video ‘Botticelli interpreter of Dante’. The website also includes an interactive map, linked to MEI database, and two videos, ‘Botticelli interpreter of Dante’ on the link between the illustration and the text, and "The readers of the Commedia".
