The full-page woodcuts first appeared in Capcasa's edition of 1492/3, which in turn were close copies of a 1490 edition printed by Petrus da Plasiis. The fine architectural woodcut borders, previously ascribed to the "Popular Designer," have more recently been attributed to the Pico Master, an artist who illuminated printed books and manuscripts for notable, often noble, patrons. The border was first used in the Benalius-Capcasa edition of Dante (3 March, 1491). BMC V, 433 (IB. 23725); BSB-Ink P-287; Essling 81; Goff P-392; HC *12776; IGI 7559; Sander 5606.
