  • Quaderni D'italianistica : Revue Officielle De La Société Canadienne
    Elio Costa From locus amoris to Infernal Pentecost: the Sin of Brunetto Latini The fame of Brunetto Latini was until recently tied to his role in Inferno 15 rather than to the intrinsic literary or philosophical merit of his own works.' Leaving aside, for the moment, the complex question of Latini's influence on the author of the Commedia, the encounter, and particularly the words "che 'n la mente m' è fìtta, e or m'accora, / la cara e buona imagine paterna / di voi quando nel mondo ad ora ad ora / m'insegnavate come l'uom s'ettema" (82-85) do seem to acknowledge a profound debt by the pilgrim towards the old notary. Only one other figure in the Inferno is addressed with a similar expression of gratitude, and that is, of course, Virgil: Tu se' lo mio maestro e'I mio autore; tu se' solo colui da cu' io tolsi lo bello stilo che m'ha fatto onore. {Inf. 1.85-87) If Virgil is antonomastically the teacher, what facet of Dante's cre- ative personality was affected by Latini? The encounter between the notary and the pilgrim in Inferno 15 is made all the more intriguing by the use of the same phrase "lo mio maestro" (97) to refer to Virgil, silent throughout the episode except for his single utterance "Bene ascolta chi la nota" (99). That it is the poet and not the pilgrim who thus refers to Virgil at this point, when the two magisterial figures, one leading forward to Beatrice and the other backward to the city of strife, conflict and exile, provides a clear hint of tension between "present" and "past" teachers.

In particular, we intend to analyze the political conceptions aimed at valuing secular thought and power (the temporal power in comparison with the spiritual power) present in his work Divine Comedy (specifically, in the text referring to Purgatory), drawing comparisons with another writing by the author: De Monarchia.

  • Emotional Minds and Bodies in the Suicide Narratives of Dante's Inferno
    Emotional Minds and Bodies in the Suicide Narratives of Dante’s Inferno Emma Louise Barlow University of Technology Sydney Abstract: Suicide plays a dynamic role in both the narrative and structure of Dante’s Inferno, and yet, in accordance with there being no term for the act in European languages until the 1600s, the poet mentions it only euphemistically: Dido ‘slew herself for love’ (Inf. 5.61), Pier della Vigna describes suicide as a process in which ‘the ferocious soul deserts the body / after it has wrenched up its own roots’ (Inf. 13.94–95), and the anonymous Florentine suicide simply ‘made [his] house into [his] gallows’ (Inf. 13.151). It is thus unsurprising that the notion of mental health in connection with suicide is eQually absent in explicit terms. Reading between the lines of Dante’s poetry, however, it becomes clear that the emotive language and embodied hybridity associated with the suicides within Dante’s oltremondo, and of Dante the pilgrim as he responds to their narratives, highlights a heterogeneous yet shared experience of loss and despair, mirroring contemporary understandings of mental health issues. Through an analysis of the emotive language associated with the narratives of a number of Dante’s suicides, and the hybrid embodiment of numerous suicides inscribed in Dante’s text, this paper hopes to explore the ways in which, even inadvertently, Dante reflects on the distancing of the suicides from the civic bodies of their communities, from their own physical bodies, and from the vital rationality of their human minds, and thus to investigate the ways in which the lack of emotional wellbeing experienced by the suicides forces them to the edges of society’s, and their own, consciousness.

  • Dante, Spenser, Milton
    religions Article Learning to Read Big Books: Dante, Spenser, Milton Christopher A. Hill Department of English and Modern Foreign Languages, University of Tennessee Martin, Martin, TN 38238, USA; [email protected] Received: 6 March 2019; Accepted: 18 April 2019; Published: 25 April 2019 Abstract: The interpretive challenges posed by dense and lengthy poems such as Dante’s Inferno, Spenser’s Faerie Queene, and Milton’s Paradise Lost can prove daunting for the average undergraduate reader whose experience of texts has been circumscribed by pedagogical mandates focused on reading for information. While information-retrieval based reading certainly has its place, the experience of reading these longer, more allegorical and symbolic poems can create in the attentive reader a far more valuable kind of learning, understood by Dante and his heirs, all working from Homeric and Virgilian models, as understanding. Each of these long poems pay very close attention to acts of interpretation, foregrounding the experiences of their characters to illustrate the proper way to move from sense, past speculation, to true understanding. Those who heed these lessons, and embrace the experience offered by the poet, find that the daunting task has been outlined as the necessary step to true knowledge rather than mere information. Keywords: Dante; Milton; Spenser 1. “Read It Well” In the introductory poem of Ben Jonson’s grouping of epigrams in his 1616 Folio, he makes a request of his reader: Pray thee, take care, that tak’st my book in hand, To read it well: that is, to understand. (Jonson 1996, p. 35) Jonson is famously impatient with the wrong kinds of readers—those unable to comprehend his carefully constructed epideictic poems even as he pulls from all the considerable Horatian and Ciceronian resources at his disposal.

The result: the first and last lines of each tercet rhyme, while the ending of the middle line gives the rhyme-sound that will appear in the next tercet. Follow this effect in the poem’s opening (Inferno I.1-9) both in the Italian text and the rhymed translation by M. Palma.

  • “TWO SUNS THEORY” and the MONARCHIA of DANTE 99 Ministro Seu Vicario4 (1.2.3)
    History Research, April-June, 2015, Vol. 5, No. 2, 98-108 doi: 10.17265/2159-550X/2015.02.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Further Discussion on the “Two Suns Theory” and the Monarchia of Dante* Sabina Tuzzo Università del Salento, Italy The De Monarchia can be considered the summa of Dante’s political thought, of which we can also find some starting points in the Convivio, in the Epistles and in the Divine Comedy. Here, in Purgatorio XVI, Marco Lombardo, after stating that the misrule of the popes led the world to the sin, articulates Dante’s view of the Empire and Papacy as separate authorities and cites the instance of Rome at the pagan Age, when Rome used to possess two autonomous institutions to drive mankind both towards the material happiness and the spiritual one (vv. 106 ff. “soleva Roma, che ‘l buon mondo feo/ due soli aver, che l’una e l’altra strada/ facean vedere, e del mondo e di Dio”). The image of “two suns” also returns in the III Book of De Monarchia by Dante. Here Dante, inquiring into the relationship between “the two greatest luminaries”, that is the Roman Pontiff and the Roman Prince, wonders if the authority of the Roman ruler descends directly from God or from someone of His ministers. For Dante the Emperor, whose authority is given to him directly by God, does not depend on the Pope, but the Emperor is absolutely independent of the Pope. Keywords: Two Suns, Dante, De Monarchia, Empire and Papacy Dante’s Monarchia1, probably completed in the last years of his life2, can be considered the summa of his political thought3.

PREFATORY NOTE <+* GABRIEL ROSSETTI, being the DANTEson of an Italian who was greatly im- mersed in the study of Dante Alighieri, and who produced a Comment on the Inferno, and other books relating to Dantesque literature, was from his earliest childhood familiar with the name of the stupendous Florentine, and to some extent aware of the range and quality of his writings. Nevertheless or perhaps indeed it may have been partly on that very account he did not in those opening years read Dante to any degree worth mentioning : he was well versed in Shakespeare, Walter Scott, Byron, and some other writers, years before he applied himself to Dante. He may have been fourteen years of age, or even fifteen (May 1843), before he took seriously to the author of the Divina Commedia. He then read him eagerly, and with the profoundest admiration and and from the he delight ; Commedia proceeded 045 -* prefatory IRote to the lyrical poems and the Vita Nuova. I question whether he ever read unless in the most cursory way other and less fascinating writings of Alighieri, such as the Convito and the De Monarchia. From reading, Rossetti went on to translating. He translated at an early age, chiefly between 1845 and 1849, a great number of poems by the Italians contemporary with Dante, or preceding other he made a version him ; and, among things, of the whole Vita Nuova^ prose and verse.

The Root Of All Evil: Civic Genealogy From Brunetto To Dante Abstract ABSTRACT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: CIVIC GENEALOGY FROM BRUNETTO TO DANTE Chelsea A. Pomponio Kevin Brownlee From the thirteenth century well into the Renaissance, the legend of Florence’s origins, which cast Fiesole as the antithesis of Florentine values, was continuously rewritten to reflect the changing nature of Tuscan society. Modern criticism has tended to dismiss the legend of Florence as a purely literary conceit that bore little relation to contemporary issues. Tracing the origins of the legend in the chronicles of the Duecento to its variants in the works of Brunetto Latini and Dante Alighieri, I contend that the legend was instead a highly adaptive mode of legitimation that proved crucial in the negotiation of medieval Florentine identity. My research reveals that the legend could be continually rewritten to serve the interests of collective and individual authorities. Versions of the legend were crafted to support both republican Guelfs and imperial Ghibellines; to curry favor with the Angevin rulers of Florence and to advance an ethnocentric policy against immigrants; to support the feudal system of privilege and to condemn elite misrule; to denounce the mercantile value of profit and ot praise economic freedom.

  • The Liberdecausis and the Potentiasivevirtus Intellectiva
    chapter 16 The Liber de causis and the potentia sive virtus intellectiva Formula in Dante’s Political Philosophy Victoria Arroche Universidad de Buenos Aires In the Monarchia and the Convivio, Dante explains that human beings are the only entity situated between corruptibility and incorruptibility. Created as a union of soul and body, human beings are, in fact, endowed with a dual nature. With respect to the human condition, i.e. their bipartite essence, each person may be conceived of as both perishable and, on the count of the soul, not perishable, at the same time.1 Parting from this dual nature, the Italian poet establishes how humanity as a whole could achieve its proper and distinctive end: earthly happiness. This ethical aim hinges on a specific and higher capa- city, which Dante describes as a potentia or virtus intellectiva. In fact, humanity as a whole could achieve its end by exercising its proper function, which is to actualize the potentia intellectiva entirely, simultaneously, and continually (actuetur vis ultima tota simul semper).2 According to him, this would be pos- sible if humanity correctly ordered temporal affairs under a sole Monarch. And this is, clearly, the political aspect of Dante’s thought. Dante presupposes a par- ticular connection between the people and the government—one that differs from other social interrelations. The subject of this study is to analyze some of the passages of Dante’s polit- ical work in the Convivio and the Monarchia, taking detailed account of the notions of potentia and virtus and the way they operate in these political treat- ises.
