Dear David,
In 1578, Tasso annotated Inf. 1-24 on the margins of an exemplar published
by Giolito in Venice, 1555. After having been discovered in 1895 by Casini,
these annotations were edited by Celani:
TASSO Torquato
Postille alla Divina Commedia edite sull'autografo della R.
Biblioteca Angelica da Enrico Celani con prefazione di Tom-
maso Casini, Citta\ di Castello: S. Lapi, 1895
Not dated and maybe of earlier date are Tasso's annotations on the margins
of another edition of the Commedia (with commentaries by Landino and
Vellutello), Venezia: Sessa, 1564; and there is a third series of
annotations -- of not fully ascertained attribution -- in an exemplar with
Daniello's commentary, Venezia: Da Fino, 1568. Both were edited by G. Rosini:
TASSO Torquato
La Divina Commedia di Dante Alighieri postillata da Torquato
Tasso, Pisa: Didot, 1830, 3 vol.
Btw, both editions are listed as nos. 101-102 in my "Alphabetical list of
commentaries to Dante's Commedia", section "Dante Bibliographies Online" of
my Dante webpages.
Best,
Otfried
