Widely regarded as one of the greatest works of world literature, The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. This edition, designed by eleven students of design at the University of Michigan – Flint, returns the story to it’s original three volume form. Each student responded to the prose through typographic treatment and design.
