Bound in calfskin and detailed in gold, a rare 1544 edition of Dante鈥檚 Divine Comedy was added to 91探花Libraries鈥� collection this year. The book is nearly 500 years old, and has likely lasted so long because its pages are made of durable linen fiber, not wood pulp. The handmade leather cover and sturdy binding also helped preserve the book. When librarian Julie Tanaka handles the book today, she knows that there is something here to pique anyone’s interest.
