MANCHESTER DANTE

The Manchester Digital Dante project therefore draws on our departmental heritage, our research expertise, and, most of all, on our historic collections of early printed Italian books in order to create an electronic resource with which to share these great cultural assets with the world... Dante studies in Manchester has a long and illustrious history within and beyond the University. Italian has been taught at the University since 1884, while the Manchester branch of the Società Dante Alighieri was founded in 1906 and was one of the first to be set up outside Italy.
