# Botticelli designs engravings for the 1481 Landino Dante edition printed in Florence as received

Date: 1481

## The fact

Britannica and Treccani independently note Botticelli’s Dante illustration work.

It is one event.

## Context

Designing for a printed Comedy is a knowledge-access path through press technology. Shared engravers (Baldini neighbourhood) remain. Incomplete series is a limit.

[Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

The 1481 Florence Dante with Landino commentary used engravings after Botticelli designs; the project is incomplete relative to 100 cantos. This is not the later parchment Comedy drawings already stored. Print colophon 1481 is the instrument date.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica — Sandro Botticelli and Treccani — Alessandro Filipepi detto Botticelli independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Sandro Botticelli (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sandro-Botticelli; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

1481 Landino Dante designs are a knowledge-access path of high confidence on participation, medium on how many plates he personally finished.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli.

They are not a public rating.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Split from later parchment drawings. Print is lifetime; later facsimiles are not. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli.
