Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri The twdve years which have elapsed since the first publication of my work have been fruitful in Dante literature. I may instance, in particular, Mr. Vernon's instructive Readings in the Inferno and the Purgatorio - soon, I hope, to be followed by those in the Paradiso Dr. Moore's valuable Studies in the Divina Commedia, and his Oxford Dante; Mr. Toynbee's excellent Index thereto, and his no less excellent Dante Dictionary; and Mr. Gardner's Dante's Ten Heavens; remarkable for its insight into the Theology of the Mystics, and its exposition of the functions attributed in Dante's time to the several Orders of the Angelic Hierarchies. To turn from our own country - the Italian Dante Society, the Giornale Dantesco, and such scholars as (to name but two out of many) Signori Del Lungo and Scherillo, have made important contributions to the study of the times, life and works of the divine Poet Dr. Scartazzini has conferreda boon on Students by his Enciclopedia Dantesca; and we are indebted to America for Mr. Fay's most useful concordance of the Divina Commedia.

Also included are forty-two drawings selected from Botticelli's marvelous late-fifteenth-century series of illustrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translation of the Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri Examination, it was received in lapse of time with universal applause and general enthusiasm, as being the foundation and ornament of the Italian language, and the admiration of all enlightened nations. Some of the most illustrious prelates of the Church, and cardinals too, translated the poem in Latin, and extolled its merit and glory in raptures of joy and praise; and even many passages thereof have been Often cited in the pulpit by several of the most pious and eloquent preachers of Italy. The entire work is teeming with vehement censure, philosophic acrimony, and poignant satire against impiety, injus tice, and tyranny, or any oppression, or encroachment against the natural and rational rights and liberties of man. He severely attacked and exposed some abuses, that became too prevalent in monastic institutions, contrary to their original foundation and the true spirit Of the Church. He was also Of Opinion, and expresses it in all his works, that poverty and humility would much more redound to the glory and prosperity of the Catholic Church, than too much temporal power and worldly grandeur.

Download or read book La Divina Commedia written by Dante Alighieri and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Divina Commedia: The Divine Comedy As to the form and phrasing of this translation, a few explanations seem desirable. This is a line-for-line translation retaining the original rime-form, - terza rima, or triple rime. In using the expression "line-for-line translation," it is not meant to imply that every line will be found in the translation in the exact place where it is found in the original. The substance of every sentence or paragraph presents itself to the translator as material to be freely rehandled in accordance with the exigencies of the rime and the requirements of English idiom. It will be found that the number of lines in every canto of the translation corresponds to that of the original. In conformity with the genius of our language and the practice of our poets, the Italian hendecasyllabic line is rendered by the normal English line of ten syllables. As almost every Italian word ends with a vowel sound, the feminine or double rime, involving a line of eleven syllables, is normal in that language. To what issue the attempt to transplant the Italian eleven-syllable line into English leads, has been shown by the experiment of Lee-Hamilton with the Inferno. Like other poets of our tongue, I have introduced the eleven-syllable lines here and there, sometimes in considerable numbers, with a view to special expressiveness. With respect to the choice of the English triple rime, I will frankly admit that the late Professor Charles Eliot Norton very strongly, although very kindly, advised me against it. Certainly there was little to encourage one in the results attained by those who had previously attempted to render the Poem in this form. To argue that because no one had succeeded with terza rima in English, failure was necessarily a foregone conclusion, seemed to me a plain begging of the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri, Vol. 3 of 3: Consisting of the Inferno Purgatorio and Paradiso In this Essay I shall confine myself to the illustration of an opinion, which often occurs in this part of Dante's Poem; not taken up at random by him, but probably learned from the Writings of Saint Augustine, with which he was very conversant; as, if necessary, could be proved from various parts of his Work. At least, if he did not learn this notion there, he, like many other Writers, inferred it from some strong expressions in his Works. The opinion which I mean is, the idea of seeing all things in God; a notion which, In the end of the seventeenth century, had been rendered so celebrated by Malebranche. When Augustine uses such strong expressions as these: Illuminandi sumus - Lumen non sumus. - l'is nosce quid est? - Tenebr: decente te magistro intimo in schola pectoris, &c.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vision, or Hell, Purgatory and Paradise of Dante Alighieri In one or two of those editions is to be found the title of The Vision which I have adopt ed, as more conformable to the genius of our language than that of The Divine Comedy. Dante himself, I believe, termed it simply The Comedy in the first place, because the style was of the middle kind; and in the next, be cause the story (if story it may be called) ends happily.

Book excerpt: Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as a guide, Inferno depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, the poet must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all. For it is only by encountering Satan, in the heart of Hell, that he can truly understand the tragedy of sin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Key to the Time Allusions in the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri Desiring to know the duration of the action of the "Divina Commedia," I took one of the best known editions and there I found that it is ten days. In order to be quite sure I consulted a second edition which informed me that it is six days. A third one did not agree with either of the others. Rather surprised, because I am deeply convinced that a great poem is not a collection of riddles, I made up my mind to work out the question for myself Thinking that the first condition of success was to form a clear mental picture of the astronomical data constantly referred to by Dante, I did so, and after the necessary simplifications, it finally took the shape of the Dial accompanying this little work. With its help all the time-references seem to me to be clear, perfectly coherent and easily followed. As no diagram can represent things exactly as they are, the reader will see in my note to Purgatorio, Canto iv. lines 61-84, how much my Dial conforms to reality and to what extent it departs from it. This small book contains the Italian text of the time-references, Longfellow's English translation of them, their explanation and the Dial.
