George Cochrane and Facsimile Finder have teamed up to publish a new Divine Comedy manuscript on the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death, completely handwritten and illustrated by Cochrane himself over the past six years!

After analyzing 700 years of art inspired by the Divine Comedy, learning Italian in order to understand the original text, refining his unique hand-lettering technique, George set out to complete a new Divine Comedy manuscript. After six years, thousands of hours penning 350,000 characters, and completing hundreds of illustrations, George is on the verge of completing this important work.

“An intriguing work, of remarkable interest in the history of art inspired by the Divine Comedy.”

L. Battaglia-Ricci, Professor of Italian Literature, University of Pisa
