Archive of the Limited Edition of Dante's Inferno: Canto XXXIII/3 / Phillips, Tom., 1983

 Item
Identifier: CC-55283-9999042
Scope and Contents XXXIII/3 The first personaliiies we meet in hell are Paolo and Francesca. Francesca's is the first voice we hear and she is the only woman from among Hell's denizens who speaks at all. She can thus, as has been pointed out in the notes to Canto V, be taken to stand for Eve, the primal sinner, whose child Cain gives his name to the region we have just passed through. Thus the first and last couples we meet are locked together, the one in love and the other in hate. In both cases only one of the pair speaks to tell a story which might elicit pity. The shadow of Eve is therefore thrown from a moon-like enlargement in negative of her name, from, as it were, the beginning to the end of Hell, set forever in a sky of dark stars. The shadow comes to rest on the coupled skulls of Ruggiero and Ugolino, which are themselves merely tilted and joined adaptations of the heads (after Michelangelo's Adam and Eve) of Paolo and Francesca from Canto V/4. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

Archive of the Limited Edition of Dante's Inferno: Frontispiece - Dante in his Study / Phillips, Tom., 1983

 Item
Identifier: CC-54450-82527
Scope and Contents This consists of a stage 1 proof and stage 2 proof (the final print) for the frontispiece of the deluxe limited edition of the book; it also served as the illustration for the dust jacket of the trade edition published by Thames and Hudson. The Stage 1 proof indicated that the image was the Editions Electo version. Phillips comments are as follows: This print in the original edition is a twenty-seven colour screenprint and is loosely based on a small reproduction of a painting attributed (equally loosely I think) to Signorelli. I have departed from this source in almost all respects and have introduced a back window which looks out on a quasi-metaphysical landscape that includes a rocky outcrop (derived from a nude photograph in an erotic magazine called in Depth') in front of which stands a cypress tree; a traditional reference to death but here also in form and position relating to a phallus. The juxtaposition recalls the idea (cf. Canto XXXIV/3) that any visit to the underworld...

The catalogue entry of this original masterpiece states: "This copy is a magnificent example of 16th-century bookmaking. The Astronomicum Caesareum contains a broad analysis of Ptolemaic astronomy and is notable for Apianus's pioneering observations on comets, particularly his discovery that comets always point their tails away from the sun. The elaborate folio includes more than 100 woodcut and typographic diagrams, vignettes and illustrations in the text, many with movable type." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
