Hi,
I wonder could anyone help me with the Spanish in the following sentence which is about a poet (Cernuda) who posed for his painter friend (Prieto):
"y los pies de Cernuda, modelo para los pies de Adán en uno de los dibujos de Prieto que ilustran una lujosa edición de El Paraíso perdido de Milton".
Does this mean "in one of Prieto's illustrations of a luxury edition of...." or does "Lujoso" mean something like "exquisite" or "elaborate" in this context? Thank you!

: I think that Jude has it. If the author wanted to say "edición de lujo", he would have used that term.

Jim Tucker (X)
: something like this; "luxury" is probably an anachronism for the asker's text. Also "lavish" is good.

Bubo Coroman (X)
: A deluxe edition because illustrated. Must have been pre-1963 as Cernuda passed away in exile in that year.
