Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of the Divine Comedy
The revision of the original and of the translation, which the translator and I have done together, has here and there suggested some change or correction in the text, and some additions, especially in the notes. I have also verified all the references with care, and the same may be said of the quotations from the poem, taken from the admirable translation of Norton.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the philosophical and theological foundations of Dante's "Divine Comedy". It establishes the epic as a didactic and allegorical poem with its allegorical reading providing a 'hidden truth'. The author's interpretation is rooted in an understanding of the accepted hermeneutics of biblical exegesis, specifically the fourfold method of interpretation, which includes the literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogic senses. This analysis illuminates the profound philosophical content submerged within the poem's captivating literary imagery. Moreover, the book situates the work in its historical and literary context, tracing the influences that shaped Dante's masterpiece and demonstrating its profound impact on Western thought and literature. Overall, this book provides an accessible and thought-provoking guide to the complex and enduring significance of the "Divine Comedy" as both a literary and philosophical masterpiece. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332614707_0
