Copy number 147 of 300

Its value is destined to rise over time as it is the only volume where you can find the image of the first page of the songbook “I TRIONFI” cod. CCCCLXI (304) by FRANCESCO PETRARCA, a contemporary of DANTE ALIGHIERI, visible on page 54 of the volume in question. In fact, the page was skillfully removed from the original volume by unknown individuals and its current whereabouts are unknown.

This is a collection of 116 pages taken from the most famous manuscripts of the Biblioteca Capitolare of Verona.

40 pages are on FEDRIGONI parchment paper for the representations of the manuscripts, the remaining pages are on 160 gr free life paper.

Considering the high profile of the content, we wanted to create a work that would do justice to the content itself and convey to the reader, in addition to the sensation of leafing through the authentic manuscript, the emotion of holding a piece of history in their hands. Therefore, we have adopted all the necessary techniques to make the work very similar to the original.

The work uses 5 printing methods: Hot Gold and Silver Printing - Gold Foil - UV Offset Printing - Digital Printing - Screen Printing

This lot is part of a limited edition of 300 copies, with 50 copies still available.
