NotesA reprint of Capcasa's 1493 Commedia (GW 7971). The Toulouse copy given as a variant of the present edition (Pell 4119A) was apparently merely perfected with fols 11-12 (numbered I-II) of GW 7971
The Huntington reports that there are two settings in quire 2a (beginning of the Inferno). These affect at least sheets 4.5 and 3.6. The size of the type used in the headline, which in setting A is 3mm and in setting B is 4mm (noticeably larger than the text type). This has been established on the evidence of Huntington 86691 and 86692 and the digitized BSB and Biblioteca Cantonale Lugano copies. An offset from setting B on the Huntington copy of A, shows that the larger headline came later but the two settings were in the printing shop at the same time. Setting B is found on sheets 4.5 and 3.6 of Huntington 86691 and BSB, and on sheet 3.6 alone at Lugano. No variation in the two outer sheets of the quire has been found (though BSB online has those two sheets supplied from ISTC id00034000). The evidence suggests this quire was printed from the inside out, earlier than the preliminaries and the edition size was raised very early in the run. Based on investigations by Elena Fogolin at the Huntington, August 2019.
