The influential poet and teacher Gosuè Carducci (1835-1907) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1906; he was the frst Italian to receive that honor. His poem “Panteismo” first appeared in RIME NUOVE, published in Bologna (Zanichetti) in 1889, and went through several editions before his death in 1907. The holograph version here on display represents a slightly different (earlier?) state of the text than either that of the 1889 edition or the final lifetime edition of 1906. In particular, the second line of the third stanza is significantly altered. A rarity in the market.
