Book Title: Dante's Inferno; Translated by the Rev. Henry Francis Cary, M.A. from the original of Dante Alighieri, and illustrated with the designs of M. Gustave Doré.

Author: Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321

Image Title: Piero da Medicina

Description: Dante converses with another native Italian, Piero da Medicina, who was guilty of sowing discord and thus relegated to this area of the Eighth Circle. His nose and part of his face has been sliced off by the sword wielding demon, leaving the mutilated visage that he presents to Dante and Virgil. The engraver, Jean Delduc (d. 1885), has placed his signature at the bottom left.
