(and this won’t be the first time this’ll happen). The first edition to have the dot as a dot is actually the French translation of 1929; the first English edition to have it is the Odyssey Press edition of 1932. American Random House edition of 1934 and the British Bodley Head of 36 don’t have it.

the first edition. In later printings (1924–25) it’s a bit messier, which is probably due to wear and tear in the type but it might be due to the printer trying to make it a bit rounded. The 1926 edition had the type completely re-set and the dot is absent because the printer just messed up

from Sam Slote: 'The dot admits of many meanings. Joyce was quite clear it should be a prominent ‘point’ (in French point means both point *and* full stop), sort of like the • character, a tad larger and bolder than a plain full stop. Because of printing limitations it would up a square in ...'

Who noticed the large dot at the end of Ithaca? [not all editions of Ulysses have it and it's sometimes in the wrong place in others...]

Seemingly, Dante was a massive influence on Joyce. Daragh O'Connell of UCC gives some wonderful glimpses of this influence here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...
