Summary:

Facsimile edition of the Codex Strozzi 152 , kept in the Laurentian Library in Florence, probably one of the first manuscripts of the Comedy to be illustrated canto by canto. The Codex contains the Comedy in the sheets 1r-90r, followed by the preface of the Commentary on Paradise by Jacopo della Lana, the chapter of Bosone da Gubbio and the Chapter by Jacopo Alighieri. To the sheet 92v, a poem, was added on Castel dell'Ovo attributed to Boccaccio.The copy of the codex, in knightly bastard calligraphy, is assigned to the main copyist of the "Group of the Hundred" and at least three hands have affixed the footnotes in Latin and vernacular. The decoration consists of figured initials with frieze at the beginning of each cantica. Forty-nine scenes placed in the lower margin of the sheets perform the function of comment and explanation of the text, until the end of Purgatory. Author of the decoration of the initial papers of the three cantica is Pacino di Buonaguida, painter and illuminator active in Florence between 1302 and 1347, who decorated a conspicuous number of Codices of the "Group of the Hundred" in Florence". Recent studies have confirmed the hypothesis that in the workshop of Pacino many manuscripts of the Comedy were set up between 1330 and 1350.
