The so-called “Oxford Dante,” first published by E. Moore in 1894, is the first edition of the whole oeuvre of Dante in one single volume. The “Oxford Dante” is divided into two parts: works in verse and in prose. It is opened by the Commedia, followed by Dante’s lyric poetry, under the title of Canzoniere, and then there are the Egloge and the spurious poems (Credo and Sette salmi). The second section, dedicated to prose works, consists of Vita Nuova, Convivio, Monarchia, De Vulgari Eloquentia, Epistolae and Questio de Aqua et Terra.
   In 1921 the Società Dantesca Italiana curated an edition of Dante’s oeuvre to celebrate the sixth-hundredth anniversary of Alighieri’s death. This edition of the whole corpus of Dante’s works is contained in one single volume, just like the "Oxford Dante."
   Both volumes were portable and prepared to be appealing to a broad public.
