Dantes Aligeri Poeta Florentinus. (Also in Dante portfolio, i.) The peculiarities of the cap, wreath, and cloak, as well as the expression, connect these with a highly ornate plate (64 X 8% in., closely trimmed) of unknown source, inscribed: Dante Alighieri poeta fiorentino. (In Dante portfolio, i.) The pose of the head and the characteristic details of the dress are reproduced in the miniature medal. lion of Dante on the title-page of Grangier's French translation of the Commedia, 1596, 1597, (Thomas de Leu sc.).

The editions of 1564, 1578, and 1596, published at Venice by Sessa, have on their title-pages an ornamental wdct. portrait of Dante which, according to Colomb de Batines, i, p. 98, gave rise to the designation of these editions as edizioni del gran naso. It is reproduced in Yriarte's "Françoise de Rimini," 1880, where it is erroneously stated to be from the Giunta edition.

In Dante portfolio, i, are two impressions of a portrait of Dante said to have been engraved by Theodore de Bry, Frankfort, 1597 (4% X 5% in.). One of them formed page 72 of some work, presum ably the "Icones virorum illustrium doctrina et eruditione præstantium, cum eorum vitis descriptis a J.J. Boissardo [and J. A. Lonicerus]; omnia in æs incisa per T. de Bry," Frankfort, 1597-99. This page has on its reverse the conclusion of an account of Albertus Magnus; the second impression is without any letter-press. The face is in profile, the head-dress resembles that of some monastic order, and over it is the poet's wreath. Below are inscribed the words: "Qui potuit patria magnum Florentia Dătem pellere, nempe illo digna Ravena fuit.”

Eighteenth Century.

1754. Tomm. Gentili del. C. Gregory sc. This engr. illustrating the anonymous Vita di Dante in the Magazzino toscano, 1754, tom. i, pp. 10-16, is the earliest dated portrait in this collection which gives the type of face made known to all by the Tofanelli-Morghen portrait of 1795. "Il ritratto," says the author of the article in a note on p. 16, "è ricavato da uno molto antico e ben conser vato; molti de' più recenti che si veggono ne' luoghi pubblici in Toscana, e nella più parte delle nobilissime case fiorentine e codici con miniature, somigliano questo nostro." A separate copy of this engr. is in the Dante portfolio, i, and a comparison of it with the plate of 1757 (described below) shows that the two must have had a common origin.

1757. An anonymous engr. "tratto da un antico originale che trovasi nella Toscana "illustrates vol. i of Zatta's edition of Dante's works, 1757-58. It was also used in the 1759 ed. of Pelli's "Memorie" and copied in Zatta's cheaper edition of Dante's works, 1760. Zatta speaks of it as having been engraved but a short time before in Leghorn, and Paur, basing his information on a letter from Witte, refers to the portrait as appearing in the “Serie di ritratti di illustri toscani," Firenze, 1766, where it was stated that the picture belonged to Giovanni Battista Dei. In the Dante portfolio, i, is an engr. "cavato da un quadro antico appresso il sigre Gio. Batta Dei antiquario di S. M. Î. [il granduca]. Gius. Zocchi del. Franc. Allegrini sc. 1761." This, no doubt, is the plate to which Witte had reference. The pose of the head, the arrangement of the cap and wreath, and the style of dress, are identical with those in Gregory's engr. of the painting by Tommaso Gentili, who would seem to be the artist of the original painting spoken of as belonging to G. B. Dei.

1767. An engr. from a portrait formerly in the possession of M. de Floncel, royal censor in Paris, forms the frontisp. to the 1768 Paris ed. of the Commedia, Littret del. sc. 1767. It is copied in the 1819 London ed., C. Knight sculp. Copies of both of these plates are in the Dante portfolio, i, where is also an engr., almost identical with that by Knight, but very strangely signed: Raphael pinxt. A. Cor don sculp. The explanation would seem to be that the engraver had noted the resemblance between this and Tofanelli's painting engraved by Raphael Morghen. The engraver may have confused Raphael Morghen with Raphael Sanzio and so have felt at liberty to sign the plate simply Raphael pinxt. Certainly he could not have fancied any connection between this portrait and the frescoes by Raphael Sanzio in the Vatican.

1771. A poor engr. (Vincen. Tarchj. del. et scul.) in vol. i of the 1771-74 ed. of the Commedia, follows in a general way those of 1754 and 1757.

Tofanelli Morghen.

1795. Idealized portrait of Dante. Engr. Slefano Tofanelli delined. Raffaello Morghen incise in Firenze. 9% X 12% in. (17)

This plate was first published in the 1795 folio edition of the Commedia with Dionisi's comment, (copy in the Harvard collection). It is also found in the Cornell copy of 1804-09 edition, with Rosini's notes. The careful copy of the original plate which is found in the Harvard copy of the Pisan ed. of 1830 is lacking in the Cornell copy.

Of Tofanelli's painting nothing is known. The portrait idealizes the type of face in the engrs. of 1754 and 1757 (described above).

A mounted photo. (2% X 3% in.) of an engr. is in Dante portfolio, ii, and another, Sole Co., (5% × 7% in.) is in Dante portfolio, iv. Reproductions by photo-engr. are found in Ricci's L'ultimo rifugio di Dante," 1891, opp. p. 8, Miss Phillimore's "Dante at Ravenna," 1898, and the anonymous article," Poet of the church," 1896.

Poor, small, or unsigned copies of this engr. are found in the following editions of the Divina commedia :

cir. 1810. Giuseppe Bossi. A portrait_by this artist, at one time owned by the Marquis Trivulzio, is engraved in the Roveta ed. of the Commedia, 1820, and on a larger scale in the Milan ed. of the Convito, 1826, (Gigola dis. Fioroni inc.).

1820-21. A full-faced, rather poorly executed engr. (Bramati dis. Rados inc.) in the Milan ed. of the Commedia, 1820-21. The general cast of features would seem to connect this with the later and more frequently reproduced anonymous engr. of the Paduan ed. of 1822. This of 1820 is distinguishable by a thin wreath of laurels around the cap.

The plate is used also in the Milan editions of 1829, 1830, 1851. Same. Engr. E. Silvestri inc. (In Cesari, A. Bellezze della Divina commedia. 1845. Vol. i. Frontisp.)

Poor copies (P. Zandomeneghi dis. G. Dala inc.) are in the 1832 and 1833 editions of the Parnaso italiano," the 1832-33 and 1856-57 editions of the Commedia ; the Florentine ed. of 1840 (Lauro inc.); - -the Paris ed. of 1840 (unsigned); the Turin ed. of 1840; - Kok's Dutch translation of the Inferno, n. d., (D. J. Sluyter sculps.).

1822. Unsigned engr. from unknown source in the 1822 Paduan ed. of the Commedia. If we can trust the inscription on a large-paper engr. of this portrait in the Dante portfolio, i. (G. Bossi dis. p. Bettoni. G. Garavaglia inc.) it would appear to be from a painting by a certain Bettoni. Paur suggests a connection between it and the so-called deathmask. It also bears considerable resemblance to Bossi's portrait (cir. 1810) and the engr. in the 1820-21 Milan ed. of the Divina commedia.

1845. An engr. in Biagioli's 1845 ed. of the Commedia (G. de Caro inc.) is copied in the 1854, 1856, and 1862 editions of the same, and in Balbo's "Vita di Dante," 1852.

As engraved by Buccinelli it appears in the 1857, 1869 and 1871 Milan editions of the Commedia.

MEDALS AND MEDALLIONS.

Ferrazzi, ii, pp. 409–411, gives a list of medals struck off in Dante's honor.

(1) A Florentine medal of the fifteenth century is engraved, with three others, from specimens in the possession of Count G. M. Mazzuchelli, on a plate preceding Zatta's preface to his edition of Dante's works, 1757-58. The same plate is used in the 1823 ed. of Pelli's "Memorie." More accurate engrs. of both sides are given on the title-pages of the three vols. of Lombardi's edition of the Commedia, 1791, and of the portrait side (G. Petrini scu.) on the title-pages of the three vols. of Poggioli's ed. of 1806. Phototypes of both sides, from a specimen in Berlin, are given in the German translation of Kopisch, 1882, -same, 1887, (with a note on it, p. 648). Photoengrs. of both sides ornament the covers of the separate nos. of the "Codice diplomatico dantesco," 1895-98. Of the portrait side there is a careful etching in Reynard's French translation of the Commedia, 1887, and wdcts. on the title-pages of recent numbers of the Giornale dantesco, and of the numerous reprints from this journal. A wdct. also illustrates the anon. article on Dante in the "Distinguished men of modern times," 1838, p. 14.

In the Dante portfolio, iii, is a souvenir postal card, published by L. Franceschini e C., Firenze, 1900, containing a photo-engr. of the portrait side surrounded by an ornamental frame.

A plaster copy of the portrait side, made by G. Eichler, Berlin, is in the cabinet of medallions, President White Library.

An engr. (loan. Lapi inv. et scul. Libur. 1777) in the 1778 ed. of the Commedia contains a medallion (apparently copied from this early one) supported on a pedestal by a Muse. A special impression of this on large-paper is in the Dante portfolio, i.

(2) Medal by Antonio Fabris in commemoration of the unveiling of the monument erected to Dante's memory in the church of Santa Croce, Florence, 1829. Engrs. of both sides (Ferd. Moutier del. P. Lasinio sc.) are given in Missirini's "Delle memorie di Dante in Firenze," 1830,- same, 2a ed., 1830, and in the 1835 ed. of the Canzoniere, translated by C. Lyell. A separate copy of this plate is in the Dante portfolio, i. The portrait side is copied (reversed)

in the unsigned engr. used in the 1830 and 1837 editions of the Commedia with Venturi's comment, although not represented there as being from a medal.

(3) Medal by F. Broggi issued by the Società di Minerva of Triest in honor of the Sixth Centenary, 1865. Mounted photo., reproducing both sides, is on the title-page of the "Componimenti di prosa e poesia relativi a Dante," published by the Society in 1866.

(4) Medal commemorating the unveiling of the monument to Dante at Trent, Oct. 11, 1896. Photoengr. in " Trentino a Dante Alighieri," 1896, opp. p. 96, reproduces both sides of the medal. The obverse contains Zocchi's detail representation of the meeting of Dante and Sordello as modelled for the statue.

The medal reproduced in Kraus, "Dante, sein Leben und sein Werk," 1897, p. 322, figures also on the title-page of the "Codice diplomatico dantesco," estratto dai fasc 2-4, (1897],on the covers of the separate fascicles and prospectuses of Ricci's illustrated ed. of the Commedia, 1898,- and in the illustrations to Dante by Stradanus, 1892, p. [16].

An engraved medallion (G. Benaglia dis. ed. inc.) forms the frontisp. to the 1804-05 ed. of the Divina commedia. Another of the same style (A. E. Lapi f.) is in the Dante portfolio, i.

A lithograph of a medal in the possession of the Società Veneta Filodramatica in Venezia, with a profile of Dante, is in the Society's Festa del sesto centenario della nascita di Dante."

The medallion vignette on the title pages of vol. i-iii of the 1817-19 ed. of the Commedia is closely copied in the frontisp. to vol i of Campi's ed., 1888-93. Another medallion," procédé de A. Collas," illustrates Mariscotti's "Dante Alighieri," 1860.

Small medallions are engraved on the title-pages of the 1784 ed. of the Commedia, and the 1829 ed. of the Vita nuova. Another on p. 1 of Magalotti's “Comento sui primi cinque canti dell' Inferno," 1819

A large wdct. medallion (81⁄21⁄2 in. in diameter) with heavy lines, in Dante portfolio, i, was used for pasting on the windows of the Florentine houses during the celebration of 1865.

Hanging in the Cornell Dante alcove are four plaster medallions from unknown originals.

On the medal by Francesco Stiore, see reference in Part II.

SPURIOUS PORTRAITS of Dante.

(1) Bas-relief found in Ravenna. An old marble discovered by Ferrucci and by him considered as a portrait of Dante made directly from the deathmask. Now in S. Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.

Wdcts. of it illustrate Ferrucci's "Carmen seculare," 1865, "Ritratto di Dante Alighieri," 1865, and “· Scala di vita," 1852. Reproduced by photo-engrs. in kicci's "L'ultimo rifugio di Dante," 1891, p. 286, and Kraus, “Dante, sein Leben und sein Werk," 1897, p. 189

Ferrucci claimed that the portrait was copied by Alessandro del Bronzino in his painting of Jesus disputing with the Doctors, in the chapel of the Montauti in the church of SS. Nunziata, Ravenna. See Giornale del centenario, no. 36, p. 291.

"In Wirklichkeit ist es nichts als eine stümperhafte Frazze : ein Altweiberkopf, der eine entfernte Aehnlichkeit mit dem Typus der Todtenmaske hat.” — Kraus, Dante, sein Leben und sein Werk, 1897, p. 188. See also Paur, p. 280.

(2) Two heads, from the fresco of the crucifixion in the church of San Fermo, Verona. Thought by G. Sauro to represent Dante and Beatrice. Lith. (In Sauro, G. Ritratto di Dante Alighieri scoperto nuovamente in Verona. 1842. Frontisp.)

A small reproduction of this plate is given in Berthier's edition of the Commedia, vol. i, 1892-[97]. p. xv. See note sub Sauro, p. 418 of this Catalogue; also Paur, p. 266. SUPPOSITITIOUS AND IDEALIZED PORTRAITS OF BEATRICE,

(1) Panels formerly in the possession of M. Missirini. Two oil paintings discovered by Missirini and by him claimed as portraits of Dante and Beatrice dating from the fourteenth century. 2 liths. Antonio Marini dis. P'anno 1831. (In Missirini, M. Dell' amore di Dante Alighieri e del ritratto di Beatrice Portinari. 1832. Frontispp.)

A mounted photo. (2 X 3 in.) of the Beatrice is in Dante portfolio, in, and a small photo-engr. of it is given in Berthier's ed. of the Commedia, vol. i, 1892-[97], p. xv.

Same. Beatrice. Lith. Disegnato da Cesare Nocchi e inciso da Vincenzo Stanghi. (In La divina commedia. 1846-48. Vol. i, opp. p. 53 )

Lithographs of both the Dante and Beatrice are reproduced on the reverse of the cover to L Bandellor.i's musical setting of Tanto gentile, and of the Beatrice alone in the 1838 ed. of the Inferno with Bargigi's comment, opp. p. [1].

Engravings of a portrait of Beatrice, somewhat resembling this, are given in Torri's edition of Dante's minor works, 1842-50, vol. iii, (F. Nenci dis., Elvira Rossi inc.) and in Topin's French translation of the Paradiso, 1862, (Elvira Rossi inc.)

(2) Supposed portrait of Beatrice Portinari by Hugo van der Goes. From an altar-piece in S. Maria Nuova, Florence. Photo-engr. (In La divina comedia, con commenti del p. G. Berthier. Vol. i. 1892-[97]. p. xv.)

Champlin and Perkins, Cyclopedia of painters, speak of this as the one authentic picture by Van der Goes, ordered at Bruges by Tommaso Portinari and painted about 1470-75. The paint

ing is a triptych, the middle picture of which represents the Adoration of the Shepherds. On the left wing are the portraits of Folco Portinari (or according to the more plausible identification of others, Tommaso Portinari) and his two sons, with Saints Matthew and Anthony; on the right wing are the portraits of the wife and daughter of the head of the family who is painted on the left wing, together with Saint Margaret and Mary Magdalen.

Photo-engrs. of the two wings of the altar-piece are given in Berthier's Béatrice Portinari," 1893, pp. 43-44, and in his edition of the Commedia, vol. i, 1892-[97], p. xi, and, on a larger scale, in F. von Reber and A. Bayersdorfer's "Klassischer Bilderschatz," Bd. viii, 1896, Nr. 1022, 1027.
