Vertical Readings in Dante's Comedy
Vertical Readings in Dante's Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approa…
Reading the Convivio from Trecento Florence to Dante's Cinquecento Commentators
This article investigates the reception of Dante's Convivio in Italy between c. 1334 and 1570. It gives an account of the presence of the treatise in the Trecento tradition of Dante commentary and in a variety of other Trecento and Quattrocento writings. It then pays particular attention to the printed editions of the treatise and their use by the major sixteenth-century Dante commentators and public readers of the poem (Alessandro Vellutello, Gi…

Tradition and Innovation in Cristoforo Landino's Glosses on Astrology in His Comento Sopra La Comedia (1481)
First printed in late August 1481, Cristoforo Landino's Comento on Dante's Comedy marks a pivotal moment in the Florentine cult of Dante, in commentary literature upon his poem, and in the book market for printed 'Dantes'. It is not surprising therefore that, in recent years, Landino's commentary has been studied in some depth and from a variety of points of view. Critical attention has been focused most closely upon the lengthy and ideologically…

Throughout the Commedia, but especially in the Paradiso, Dante's fascination with light and optics finds its expression in a variety of imagery drawn from a wide range of luminous effects. One important cluster of such images is that related to the rainbow and the moon-halo, phenomena which medieval writers believed to be produced by the reflection (and sometimes by the refraction) of light in the atmosphere. This article investigates the intelle…
