First from Italian
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is Carlo Giussani's 1896 edition of Lucretius' 'De Rerum Natura', which includes his Italian commentary. While the primary text of Lucretius has been translated into English many times from the original Latin, Giussani's specific Italian commentary has not been translated into English. Therefore, this is a 'first from source' situation where the underlying work is well-known in English, but this specific scholarly edition/commentary is not.

About This Book
literaturephilosophynatural-philosophy
Lucretius offers a brutal, beautiful, and strictly materialist vision of our universe. You will learn why death is nothing to fear and why the soul is just a collection of atoms waiting to scatter. This book is a manual for finding peace in a world governed by random motion rather than divine design.
