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. This holograph version 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 first line has a slight variant and the second line of the third stanza is significantly altered. A rarity in the market. unknown
