Here is an interesting work. Eleven letters, believed to have been written by Dante, translated into English. (I hear that modern scholarship no longer attributes all of these to Dante, but I don't know anything about that myself.)

We do have what appears to be a similar volume already in the catalogue, although this is by a different translator, and there are thirteen letters instead of just eleven. I haven't compared the two texts to see whether this is the same eleven plus two more, or if there are more differences.

The first four I checked seemed to be the same people after I waded through all the titles they had. Anne
