According to Field, the German dealer Dr. Jawdat Naffouj, Landstuhl, bought this edition from the publisher of the first Divine Comedy edition, Jean Estrade, and issued the series, with only text for the table of contents, in 1974. Although Field notes that Naffouj sold approximately 386 sets, other dealers handled this second edition as well, so it is unclear how many of the total 1000 sets were sold altogether. Field pp. 189-200.
