Of course you mean the forthcoming International Authors edition of Tasso's Il mondo creato!
As Borges might suggest, that 400 pages is an Aristotelian figure, while the true magnitude of Tasso's poem is better conceived in Platonic terms, in which case the poem is actually infinite in scope, eternal in breadth, perpetual in depth, and boundless in matters of conception.
Just bought this in a remainders bookstore:

Nice cover art. Haven't seen that edition before.
ReplyDeleteAre you contemplating publishing a bestiary of your own?
>Are you contemplating publishing a bestiary of your own?
ReplyDelete"Publishing"? With whom? Whom whom whom? Hmm, let me think . . .
Presently I'm buried beneath what might as well be an infinite library of babel. No plans for a bestiary, at least for some time.
