From the Back Cover
"Singleton's edition of the Divine Comedy will certainly be the edition for readers in English. The translation is much the most satisfactory one I know. The commentary is the most complete and authoritative in English. It is clear that Singleton's work on the Inferno supersedes everything else of the kind."--Francis Fergusson

Singleton's edition of the "Divine Comedy", of which this is the first part, provides English-speaking readers w/ everything required to read & understand Dante's great masterpiece. The Italian text here is the edition of Giorgo Petrocchi, the leading Italian editor of Dante. Professor Singleton's lucid prose translations, facing the Italian in a line-for-line arrangement on ea. page, is smooth & literate. The companion volume, the Commentary, marshals every point of information the reader may require: vocabulary; grammar; identification of Dante's characters; historical sources of some of the incidents &, where pertinent, excerpts from those sources in their original languages & in translation; profound & clear analysis of the "Divine Comedy's" basic allegory. There is a complete bibliography of every aspect of Dante studies. Francis Fergusson has written of this edition: "We are very lucky that SIngleton is the great contemporary interpreter of Dante. It is clear that his work . . . supersedes everything else of the kind." * HIGHEST PRAISE for the translation of Professor Charles S. Singleton: "A SPLENDID translation. What TRIUMPHANT JOY it is to see the honest light of literality take over again, after ages of meretricious paraphrase." -Vladimir Nabokov - "With the publication of Singleton's edition of "The Divine Comedy", we have in English a truly SCHOLARLY edition which can at last vie w/ editions in Italian & German. This MONUMENTAL work will be INDISPENSABLE for all lover's of this masterpiece who wish to root it in its linguistic, historical & social reality." -Speculum * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this EXCELLENT copy for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
