• If you are curious about the one page from a 1487 edition of the Divine Comedy included in The Brescia Dante volume, you can find a description here: https://www3.nd.edu/~italnet/Dante/text/1487.brescia.html, as part of an exhibition that was originally held at the Special Collections of the University of Notre Dame, and expanded for Internet publication. The online exhibition presents early printed editions of the Divine Comedy from the John A. Zahm, C.S.C., Dante Collection at the University of Notre Dame, and selected materials from The Newberry Library. Please notice the use of the work "incunabulum," or incunable," for books printed in Europe before 1501.
