I find it hard to believe such a thing exists, but it do!

This is a copy of Dante's Divine Comedy written in the hand of Bocaccio (writer of The Decameron, which is itself an enormously important medieval work). And you can read it online! To the link, my friends...

Lucky I downloaded an italian translation app. Should have the.first paragraph by monday.AM.

Nice patina, and penmanship and all..
