The work remains incomplete; only one and a half books are extant. It is believed to have been composed during Dante's exile, probably at some point between 1302 and 1305. The work revolves around the relationship between Latin and vernacular, and the need for a literary language, with an excurse on the poetic forms in vernacular.

1Divine Comedy

By Dante Alighieri

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened "Divina" by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance. A culmination of the medieval world-view of the afterlife, it establishes the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. - The Divine Comedy is composed of three canticas (or "cantiche") — Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) — composed each of 33 cantos (or "canti"). The very first canto serves as an introduction to the poem and is generally not considered to be part of the first cantica, bringing the total number of cantos to 100. - The poet tells in the first person his travel through the three realms of the dead, lasting during the Easter Triduum in the spring of 1300.

2Divina Commedia

By Dante Alighieri

<i>La Divina Commedia</i>, originalmente <i>Commedìa</i>, è un poema di Dante Alighieri, capolavoro del poeta fiorentino, considerata la più importante testimonianza letteraria della civiltà medievale e una delle più grandi opere della letteratura universale. <br /><br />È diviso in tre parti chiamate cantiche: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso; il poeta immagina di compiervi un viaggio ultraterreno <br /><br />Il poema, pur continuando i modi caratteristici della letteratura e dello stile medievali (ispirazione religiosa, fine morale, linguaggio e stile basati sulla percezione visiva e immediata delle cose), tende a una rappresentazione ampia e drammatica della realtà, ben lontana dalla spiritualità tipica del Medioevo, tesa a cristallizzare la visione del reale. (Sommario di Wikipedia)

La Divina Comedia (también conocida como La Comedia) es un poema teológico escrito por Dante Alighieri. Se desconoce la fecha exacta en que fue escrito aunque las opiniones más reconocidas aseguran que el Infierno pudo ser compuesto entre 1304 y 1307–1308, el Purgatorio de 1307–1308 a 1313–1314 y por último, el Paraíso de 1313–1314 a 1321 (fecha esta última, de la muerte de Dante). La primera parte narra el descenso del autor al Infierno, acompañado por el poeta latino Virgilio, autor de la Eneida, a quien Dante admiraba. Acompañado por su maestro y guía, describe los nueve círculos en los que son sometidos a castigo los condenados, según la gravedad de los pecados cometidos en vida. Dante encuentra en el Infierno a muchos personajes antiguos, pero también de su época, y cada uno de ellos narra su historia brevemente a cambio de que Dante prometa mantener vivo su recuerdo en el mundo; cada castigo se ajusta a la naturaleza de su falta y se repite eternamente. Es particularmente recordada la historia de Paolo y Francesca, amantes adúlteros que se conocieron al leer en el libro de Lanzarote los amores de la reina Ginebra y este caballero, que fue motivo de inspiración y homenaje por poetas románticos y contemporáneos, así como la historia del conde Ugolino da Pisa, el último viaje de Ulises, el tránsito por el bosque de los suicidas, la travesía del desierto donde llueve el fuego y la llanura de hielo de los traidores, estos últimos, considerados los peores pecadores entre todos.

7Divina Commedia - Il Purgatorio

By Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri racconta in questa opera il suo viaggio nei tre regni dell'oltre tomba. Il viaggio, avvenuto durante la settimana santa dell'anno 1300, inizia con lo smarrimento della corretta via e l'incontro della sua guida "Duca, Segnore, e Maestro" Virgilio. Virgilio condurrà Dante attraverso l'inferno prima, dove incontrerà le anime dannate divise nei vari cerchi a seconda delle loro colpe, e il purgatorio poi, dove incontrerà le anime che stanno espiando le loro pene in attessa di giungere in paradiso. Nell'ultima parte del viaggio, dalla cima della montagna del purgatorio fino all'empireo dove vedrà Dio, Dante verrà condotto da Beatrice, musa che lo ha ispirato durante tutta la composizione dell'opera.<br> L'opera è divisa in tre cantiche, come tre sono i regni visitati durante il viaggio. Morfologicamente, l'inferno è rappresentato come una cavità sotterranea che raggiunge il centro della terra dove Lucifero è intrappolato. Il purgatorio è una montagna che sorge dall'altra parte della terra rispetto a Gerusalemme, e culmina alla sommità con il paradiso terrestre. Il paradiso, infine, è composto dai cieli che girano intorno alla terra, e dall'empireo dove Dio risiede con tutti gli angeli. (Riassunto di Filippo Gioachin)

8Divina Commedia - L'Inferno

By Dante Alighieri

L'Inferno, la più conosciut delle tre parti della Divina Commedia, fu scritta mentre il poeta era esiliato dalla sua città di Firenze. Questa sezione del poema descrive il viaggio di Dante attraverso l'Inferno, guidato dal poeta Virgilio. È un viaggio che si svolge tra persone cadute in peccato mortale, illustrandone le conseguenze (per i peccatori) in tutto il suo orrore e la sua miseria. È un viaggio che porta Dante da una situazione iniziale di smarrimento ad un cammino che conduce verso Dio fino ad un avvicinamento al Purgatorio dove inizierà a trovare forza e speranza. - Summary by KevinS

9New Life (La vita nuova)

By Dante Alighieri

One of Dante's earliest works, La vita nuova or La vita nova (The New Life) is in a prosimetrum style, a combination of prose and verse, and tells the story of his youthful love for Beatrice. The prose creates the illusion of narrative continuity between the poems; it is Dante's way of reconstructing himself and his art in terms of his evolving sense of the limitations of courtly love (the system of ritualized love and art that Dante and his poet-friends inherited from the Provençal poets, the Sicilian poets of the court of Frederick II, and the Tuscan poets before them). Sometime in his twenties, Dante decided to try to write love poetry that was less centered on the self and more aimed at love as such: he intended to elevate courtly love poetry, many of its tropes and its language, into sacred love poetry. Beatrice for Dante was the embodiment of this kind of love—transparent to the Absolute, inspiring the integration of desire aroused by beauty with the longing of the soul for divine splendor. - Summary by adapted from Wikipedia by Mary J

In quella parte del libro della mia memoria dinanzi alla quale poco si potrebbe leggere, si trova una rubrica la quale dice Incipit Vita Nova. Sotto la quale rubrica io trovo scritte le parole le quali è mio intendimento d'asemplare in questo libello, e se non tutte, almeno la loro sentenzia. - Summary by Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova

Convivio (The Banquet) is a work written by Dante Alighieri roughly between 1304 and 1307. This unfinished work of Dante consists of four trattati, or "books": a prefatory one, plus three books that each include a canzone (long lyrical poem) and a prose allegorical interpretation or commentary of the poem that goes off in multiple thematic directions.<br /><br /> The Convivio is a kind of vernacular encyclopedia of the knowledge of Dante's time; it touches on many areas of learning, not only philosophy but also politics, linguistics, science, and history. The treatise begins with the prefatory book, or proem, which explains why a book like the Convivio is needed and why Dante is writing it in the vernacular instead of Latin. It is one of Dante's early defenses of the vernacular, expressed in greater detail in his (slightly earlier) linguistic treatise De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular). Books 2 and 3 form a unit, both focusing on Dante's new love after the death of Beatrice—his love for Lady Philosophy, "the most beautiful and dignified daughter of the Emperor of the universe," as he calls her. Book 2 discusses allegory and Lady Philosophy (in connection with the canzone Voi che ’ntendendo il terzo ciel movete [You who move the third heaven with an act of the intellect], which opens the book), and also brings such subjects as astronomy, angelology, and the soul's immortality. Book 3 is a hymn of praise for philosophy, launched by an allegorical interpretation of Dante's great canzone Amor che ne la mente mi ragiona (Love, who speaks to me in my mind). In this book, Dante asserts that true philosophy cannot arise from any ulterior motives, such as prestige or money—it is only possible when the seeker has a love of wisdom for its own sake. Book 4 is by far the longest of the Convivio, and is noticeably distinct from the two books that precede it. The subject of book 4 is the nature of nobility. It opens with the longest canzone of the Convivio, Le dolci rime d’amor (Those sweet poems of love), which is explicitly about gentilezza or nobility, as well as a condemnation of avarice, asserting that reason and the spirit of acquisition are mutually incompatible. The first half of book 4's thirty chapters are dedicated to debunking the false idea of nobility as an inherited trait, one restricted to the aristocracy, while the final fifteen chapters delineate what true nobility consists of—the perfection of a thing according to its nature—and how nobility manifests in people at various stages of life. The Convivio, in its autobiographical passages and in the trajectories of its lines of thought, gives us a rich portrait of Dante himself, of great importance for an understanding of his work as a whole, especially the Divine Comedy. - Summary by Wikipedia

Le Rime (in English, The Rhymes) are the collection of lyric poems written by Dante Alighieri throughout his life. While the rest of Dante's works were prepared by himself for publication, these poems were written by him in letters, as parts of other works or independently, but only collected and ordered much later, by modern critics. Among these is found the famous collection of Rime Petrose, a cycle of poems dedicated to a woman nicknamed Pietra (Stone) due to her insensibility to the poet's love. As the work of a whole life, the poems are varied, and mirror the many different moments of Dante's thoughts, both poetically and philosophically. - Summary by Leni

A la mitad del viaje de nuestra vida, me encontré en una selva oscura por haberme apartado del camino recto. ¡Ah! ¡Cuan penoso me sería decir lo salvaje, áspera y espesa que era esta selva, cuyo recuerdo renueva mi temor! Era tan triste que la muerte no lo es tanto. Pero para hablar del bien que alli encontré, revelaré las demás cosas que he visto... (del Canto primero del infierno). Manuel Aranda y Sanjuan (1845-1900) ha sido un prolífico traductor de obras técnicas, pero también literarias. Entre estas últimas se cuentan Orlando furioso, de Lodovico Ariosto, y La comedia humana, de Honoré de Balzac. Su traducción en prosa de la Divina Comedia de Dante ha sido durante decenios "la traducción" por antonomasia en lengua española. ( Tux)

Dante's short correspondence in verse with Giovanni del Vergilio was only published in 1719, but is believed to have been written at some point in the last years of the poet's life. What we have are two poems by Dante and the answers by Iohannes (Giovanni's Latin name), all in Latin hexameters, emulating the style of Vergil. Even though the works were named after Vergil's bucolic poetry, the poems also echo the Georgics and the Aeneid, and are truly a masterpiece by a master of poetry. In this audiobook, we present the four poems in the original Latin, each followed by its translation by H.E. Plumptre. - Summary by Leni

The Divine Comedy (in Italian, Divina Commedia, or just La commedia or Comedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri in the first decades of the 14th Century, during his exile from his native Florence. Considered the most important work of Italian literature, the poem has also has enormous historical influence on western literature and culture more generally. Dante represents the three realms of the afterlife in his three canticles (Inferno--Hell; Purgatorio--Purgatory; Paradiso--Paradise) in a way that reflects and, at the same time, goes beyond Christian tradition of the 14th Century. Dante is sometimes called "The father of the Italian language" for the linguistic influence of the Comedy, which helped to elevate his native Florentine Tuscan dialect to the level of national standard. The poem is written in the first person, and tells of Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead, lasting from the night before Good Friday to the Wednesday after Easter in the spring of 1300. The Roman poet Virgil guides him through Hell and Purgatory; Beatrice, Dante's ideal woman, guides him through Heaven.

The De Monarchia is one of the main works by Dante Alighieri. It is a treatise on secular and religious power, and more specifically on the relationship between secular authority (represented by the Holy Roman Emperor) and religious authority (represented by the Pope). The work is composed of three books, in which Dante condemns the theocratic conception of the power elaborated by the Roman Church and defends that both the Pope and the Emperor derive their power from God, and, that being so, God gave to each power in one certain area of life, which means they should not interfere with each other's power and one should not be considered above the other. - Summary by Leni

This volume contains the thirteen letters of the poet Dante Alighieri translated from their original Latin, including the famous and controversial letter to his patron Cangrande della Scala. The letters provide a good deal of context for the reader of Dante regarding his political and philosophical positions. In the final letter, the authenticity of which has been hotly contested by scholars, the author dedicates the Paradiso to the Veronese Cangrande, explains his Divine Comedy's title (then just Comedy), and discusses much of the work's content. Summary by Mary J.

De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the vernacular) is a short essay written by Dante Alighieri in Latin. The work remains incomplete; only one and a half books are extant. It is believed to have been composed during Dante's exile, probably at some point between 1302 and 1305. The work revolves around the relationship between Latin and vernacular, and the need for a literary language, with an excourse on the poetic forms in vernacular. - Summary by Leni

Le Rime sono una raccolta messa insieme e ordinata da moderni editori, che riunisce il complesso della produzione lirica dantesca dalle prove giovanili a quelle dell'età matura. Le rime giovanili comprendono componimenti che riflettono le varie tendenze della lirica cortese del tempo, quella guittoniana, quella guinizzelliana e quella cavalcantiana. Tra questo gruppo di testi Dante aveva scelto quelli che dovevano entrare a far parte della Vita Nova. (Summary by Wikipedia) <br> N.B. Questa edizione (dell'Ottocento) contiene alcune poesie che gli studiosi non attribuiscono più a Dante, come per esempio la ballata "Fresca rosa novella" di Calvalcanti. Le includiamo comunque per mantenere l'integrità del volume.

20Jerusalem to Revelations - A Quartet of Spiritual Explorations

By Dante Alighieri, William Blake, King James Version (KJV) and Unknown

A Four Quartets for the End of Time, these works stretch from the death and rebirth of a living land, England/Albion, to the death of the world as we know it in the Book of Revelations, going by way of a journey of the soul through death into salvation in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, thence into Dante's journey into Hell, Purgatory and final union with his beloved Beatrice and his God. Herein you will find four ways to save your soul and live through death, regenerate a wasted land and, in doing so, enter the New Jerusalem. - Summary by Tony Addison

Het doel van deze vertaling is den Nederlandschen lezer in kennis te stellen met den volledigen inhoud van Dante’s Gedicht. De vertaling is zooveel mogelijk woordelijk, kan dus ook als handleiding dienen bij het lezen en bestudeeren van den oorspronkelijken, Italiaanschen tekst.<br> De vertaling is in Proza.<br> Waarom? Omdat de woorden, waarin het Gedicht vervat is, den dichter werden ingegeven in het scheppingsoogenblik door de volheid zijner fantasieën, gevoelens en gedachten zelve. Ook in het practisch-onmogelijke, maar theoretisch stelbare geval dat de vertaler evenzeer vervuld ware als de dichter van hetgeen uitgedrukt moet worden, zoude het onmogelijk zijn, dat de tweede, de Nederlandsche dichter kwam tot een uitdrukkingsvorm, die ook maar eenigszins gelijkliep met den vorm door den eersten, den Italiaanschen dichter gevonden. Dante zelf zegt op dit stuk: „En daarom wete een ieder, dat geen enkele zaak, door den band der muziek harmonisch uitgedrukt, uit hare eigene taal in eene andere kan worden overgebracht, zonder dat men al hare zoetheid en harmonie verbreke. (Summary taken from introduction of the book by H.J. Boeken)

Il Paradiso è la terza e ultima cantica del poema di Dante, che dopo aver attraversato l'inferno e il purgatorio nelle due cantiche precedenti, giungerà ad attraversare i nove cieli che compongono il Paradiso, accompagnato da Beatrice fino ad arrivare alla visione della Trinità (L'Amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle...) - Summary by Pier

Il Purgatorio è la seconda cantica del poema di Dante, che dopo aver attraversato l'Inferno ascende il monte del Purgatorio fino a raggiungerne la sommità, "Puro e disposto a salire alle stelle", cioè a iniziare la salita verso il Paradiso. (Riassunto di Pier)
