La Vita Nuova
$25.00
Alighieri, Dante. La Vita Nuova. Indiana University Press, 1965 (2nd Printing). Softbound. Translated by Mark Musa. 'Nine times already since my birth,' Dante rhapsodizes over Beatrice in this, his earliest work, 'the heaven of light had circled back to almost the same point when the now glorious lady of my mind first appeared to my eyes.' Lovely cover to this edition, featuring Roman Capitals and a rubbing-inspired abstraction by Czech designer George Sadek, who is known for founding Cooper Union's Herb Lubalin Study Center and for mentoring typography scholar Ellen Lupton.
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some areas of light rubbing, sunning, and edge-wear to the covers. 86 pp. Poetry.
