Description
An account of the resource
This expansive set of thirty-five air mail postage stamps was issued in 1972 by an agent under contract to the state of Umm al-Quwain. The stamps depict scenes from a number of illustrated manuscripts of the <em>Divina commedia</em> and other works as well as one fresco. Each stamp is printed either horizontally or vertically between two labels: the left label is Raphael's portrait of Dante from the artist's fresco <em>Disputation of the Holy Sacrament</em> in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City and the right label is a quotation from the <em>Divina commedia</em> relevant to the illustration on the stamp. The horizontally printed stamps have "christmas" and "peace" to the left and right of the portrait, respectively, while the vertically printed stamps have "christmas" below the portrait. At the bottom of each stamp are the denomination, air mail designation, and country in English and the denomination and country in Arabic.<br /><br />Below are listed for each stamp the subject, label quotation, and illustration source (library, manuscript shelfmark, folio number, place of origin, artist, and approximate date of creation). Identification of the illustration sources was kindly provided by <a href="https://twitter.com/pellegrina14233" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Melissa Conway</a>.<br /><ul><li>Michel 887 – The three beasts – <em>Inferno</em> 1:49–51 – Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, <a href="https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10509601v" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Italien 2017</a>, f. 10v, Lombardy, Master of the <em>Vitae Imperatorum</em>, ca. 1440</li>

Description
An account of the resource
This series of postage stamps—issued during the 1972 UNESCO International Book Year—commemorates the 500th anniversary of the printing of the first three editions of Dante's <em>Divina commedia</em>.<sup>1</sup> The <a href="https://data.cerl.org/istc/id00022000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first edition</a> was printed in Foligno by Johann Neumeister and Evangelista Angelini. The <a href="https://data.cerl.org/istc/id00023000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second edition</a> was printed in Mantua by Georgius de Augusta and Paulus de Butzbach for Columbinus Veronensis. The <a href="https://data.cerl.org/istc/id00024000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third edition</a> was printed by Federicus de Comitibus Veronensis in an unknown location. Scholars once attributed the third edition to Iesi (Jesi) and the 180-lire stamp reflects this, however current scholarship attributes the printing to Venice.<br /><br />The stamps reproduce the first few printed lines of each respective edition taken from specific copies held in three Italian libraries: the 50-lire image is from the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, the 90-lire image is from the Casa di Dante in Rome, and the 180-lire image is from the Convento di San Francesco in Ravenna. Surrounding each central image is a legend: on the 50-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE FOLIGNATE / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Foligno edition [of the] <em>Divina commedia</em>); on the 90-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE MANTOVANA / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Mantuan edition [of the] <em>Divina commedia</em>); and on the 180-lire stamp: "QUINTO CENTENARIO / EDIZIONE JESINA / DIVINA COMMEDIA" (5th centenary of the Jesi edition of the <em>Divina commedia</em>). Along the bottom edge of each stamp is the abbreviated name of the printer: "I.P.S.-ROMA-1972" (Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato).
