A Bookseller’s Catalogue of Works By and About Dante

a-booksellers-catalogue-of-works-by-and-about-dante“[Chris Lowenstein] began acquiring antiquarian editions of Dante more seriously, with the idea of publishing her first catalogue entirely on the Italian poet. Since Dante’s work has a 700-year history, she narrowed her search by focusing on books published within the last 300 years, and only those that were illustrated, signed, or unusual in some way.
‘I wanted to show that you can build a really interesting and meaningful collection even if you couldn’t afford to buy the incunabula,’ Lowenstein said.
Book Hunter’s Holiday’s full-color catalogue containing 65 items was published last month. Lowenstein also provides a PDF version on her website [Book Hunter’s Holiday], as an invitation to young collectors.” [. . .]    –Rebecca Rago Berry, Fine Books & Collections, March, 2010
