S.E. Lindberg I assume you have seen the Gustave Dore illustrated version from the 1860's; his engraving of the Divine Comedy are amazing. Given that you like art books, you probably already know about him. If for some reason you missed him...you must search his work:

I haven't, though I loved City of Dreaming Books.

Oh, it's fabulous! Moers' whimsy paired with Doré's art? I think you'd love it.
