Note on Typography: The first letter in the first line of each major section of the

those contained within the Vita Nuova. This results in the following
line's indentation being always displaced slightly to the
right.

Other Physical Features: Someone, perhaps the book's previous owner Ellen Terry, has made notes by
penciling vertical lines into the margins of several paragraphs and poems, particularly in the Vita Nuova.
