  • Combat Trauma in Dante's Inferno Patrick
    A Hell of One’s Own: Combat Trauma in Dante’s Inferno Patrick Whalen Must you have battle in your heart forever? —Odyssey 12:132 ante Alighieri was twenty-four years old in 1289 when he saw combat in the Battle of Campaldino as a “feditore”, a cavalry soldier from Florence.1 From what we D know of the battle,2 Dante’s unit would have been one of the first to be engaged by the oncoming Aretine cavalry, and for the first several minutes of the battle, Dante would have faced the prospect of imminent death when he saw the men and horses of his unit dying as their resistance crumbled before the Aretine’s charge. The historian Herbert Oerter notes that the catastrophe of this initial attack actually saved the Florentine forces, and likely Dante with them, because it caused Corso Donati, the flamboyant commander of the Florentine reserves, to disregard his orders and commit to the battle immediately. His orders, on pain of death, were to wait for a signal from one of the senior officers, Guillaume de Durfort. But Guillaume was dying— bleeding out on the plain—and would never give the signal. As it happened, Corso’s reserve position was in defilade to the attacking Aretine’s northern flank. When Corso attacked, his cavalry pierced the unexpecting and unprotected flank of the Aretine force, causing massive chaos and an almost immediate disintegration of the Aretine attack. The battle was over in a few 1 Robert M. Durling and Ronald L. Martinez, Inferno (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996), 88.

  • Cari Dantisti: I Very Much Enjoyed Our First Session Together on 9/30 And
    Cari Dantisti: I very much enjoyed our first session together on 9/30 and am grateful to those of you who’ve written with your own reactions. There was nothing tentative about our beginning; we are already well on our way. That said, I know from Sharon Small that there were raised hands that were not acknowledged. Also, because text largely occupied the screen, you were not able to see one another. And we were only looking at snippets of text rather than the entire canto under discussion. So, I’d like us to try something different on 10/7. Please have your Durling-Martinez text available so that we can work from it: can read from the text, paraphrase it, comment on it, draw your attention to this or that line. All of this by way of setting you up for Q&A and discussion. A great additional resource is Columbia University’s dedicated Dante website (https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/). where you can find for each canto the text (along with Longfellow and Mandelbaum translations), a written commentary by Teodolinda Barolini, a taped hour-long lecture by Barolini (select “video”), and a reading of the poem in Italian by a native speaker (“audio”). This site is a treasure trove. Another treasure is Lino Pertile’s “Introduction to the INFERNO” in the Cambridge Companion to Dante, 2nd ed. I’ve just gotten a pdf of the chapter and attach it to this email. It’s comprehensive and beautifully written. All of these are extras, which I draw your attention to while we are proceeding at a leisurely pace compared to our velocity in the succeeding weeks, Although you may not have time or inclination to pursue them now, I want you to know that they are there if and when you are interested in going further.

    Cultural and Religious Studies, August 2016, Vol. 4, No. 8, 488-520 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2016.08.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING Illustrations for Dante’s Inferno: A Comparative Study of Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Stradano, and Federico Zuccaro Liana De Girolami Cheney SIEALE, Universidad de Coruña, Spain This essay is twofold: the first part focuses on the interpretation of the concept of Hell in Dante’s Inferno and Italian culture as depicted in Last Judgment scenes such as Giotto’s in the Arena Chapel of Padua; Signorelli’s in the Orvieto Cathedral; and Michelangelo’s in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The second part deals with the drawing illustrations for the text of Dante’s Divine Comedy composed by the Florentine painters Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Stradano, and Federico Zuccaro. Here the emphasis is on Dante’s Inferno, which comments upon Neoplatonic personalities, Florentine politics, and current popular art. Comparisons with some of Botticelli’s, Stradano’s, and Zuccaro’s drawing illustrations indicate the assimilation of classical artistic concepts such as Horace’s ut pictura poesis [as is painting so is poetry] as well as Plato’s furor poeticus [poetical inspiration] promoted in the writings of Marsilio Ficino, a Renaissance Neoplatonic philosopher. Keywords: Dante, Divine Comedy, canto (chant), Hell, creativity, poetry, drawings, Botticelli, Stradano, Zuccaro, Neoplatonism, ut pictura poesis, furor poeticus, Marsilio Ficino Introduction Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per un a selva oscura che la diritta via era smarrita.

Uncovering The Sources: Historical Characters In Dante's Divine Comedy Abstract A lack of citation of Dante’s specific source material for historical characters who appear in the Divine Comedy is widespread throughout the commentary tradition. I performed a close textual analysis of the Divine Comedy’s historical characters, comparing them with the chronicles, annals and histories of Dante’s time, using both archival research and secondary histories to do so, and interpreted those primary historical texts as potential sources consulted by Dante. The historical characters I focused on fell into three categories: 1) characters involved in the battles of Montaperti and Colle Val d’Elsa, 2) characters belonging to or associated with the Norman, Swabian and Aragonese dynasties of Sicily, 3) characters embroiled in sensational or newsworthy events during Dante’s lifetime. The first two categories analyzed historical events that mostly occurred before Dante was born, and thus focused more heavily on written testimony, while the third category analyzed the news of Dante’s adulthood, and thus focused more on oral tradition.

  • Editorial Post Script: Farfarello Between Horror and Humour, in Dante, Leopardi, and Folklore
    Nissan, “Post Script: A Hundred Years Since Sholem Aleichem’s Demise” | 20 Editorial Post Script: Farfarello between Horror and Humour, in Dante, Leopardi, and Folklore Ephraim Nissan London Abstract. In this post script, which follows Roberta Cauchi Santoro’s article “‘Ridendo dei nostri mali, trovo qualche conforto’: Giacomo Leopardi’s Humour”, we further develop a topic she touched upon briefly: Giacomo Leopardi’s “Dialogo di Malambruno e di Farfarello” from the Operette Morali, a dialogue which treats with outwardly levity the theme of human unhappiness (so central to Leopardi). The demon Farfarello and several fellow demons (some of whom, Leopardi’s magician Malambruno invokes) already appear in Dante’s Comedy, in a horrific context with some humour in it. Farfarello (or Farfareddu, in Sicily) also appears in folktales, such as in aetiological tale about why a rival ecumenical religion was demographically so successful (Farfareddu tries to promote with his colleagues his clever little brother, as a condition for a star performance if entrusted with a major task), as well as a variant, told in a feminine perspective, of the legend of Virgil the magician. Keywords: Farfarello; Giacomo Leopardi; Operette Morali; Dante Alighieri; Divine Comedy; Malebranche; Sicilian folktales; Giuseppe Pitrè; Humour and horror; Virgil the wizard; Count Rezzonico della Torre’s voyage to Sicily; Anti-hagiography; Mi‘rāj; Cosmic Cock 1. Introduction: The Starting Point for the Discussion 2. Giacomo Leopardi 3. The Operette Morali, and the Canticle of the Wild Cock 4.

  • Documents Week 3
    1 Cari Dantisti: Thus far we have been moving slowly, with just two cantos for a class session. Starting October 14, we take on more. Fasten your safety belt. The format of the Alumni College is seminar rather than lecture, which means that I am not meant to dominate the scene but rather to facilitate discussion. That said, each week I want to make sure to give you what I can ahead of time to enrich our time together. Hence the prompt and the attachments I am including with this email or my suggestion that from time to time you investigate (https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/) Professor Barolini’s canto by canto commentary or video lectures. One of the things Dante teachers must accept is that there are limits to what we can do with the text, whether studied twice a week over a year, as has been my custom, or in our eight-week, once a week format. It’s impossible to cover everything or go into depth as fully as the text warrants. Therefore, I’ll try to suggest the big picture and then choose places to focus. On October 14th, I’ve chosen to look at two episodes where Dante Pilgrim “loses” it. Francesca (INF 5) is one of the most beloved characters in the entire poem, which doesn’t mean that she is not problematic. (We are in hell and Dante is all empathy!) To many readers, INF 8 and Filippo Argenti are disturbing because of the hatred and violence between them. (Dante is all rage where wrath is being punished, which Virgil celebrates.) These are important episodes.
