Adelard, Aristotle, and the De natura deorum
Dante and the Legend of the Miʿrāj
The study with which Cerulli supports his edition of the Libro della scala is a model of historical research, tracing, as it does, by strict lines of literary dependence the spread of the knowledge of Muslim otherworld beliefs among certain Christian writers in the later Middle Ages. With Dante it attempts to follow the same delimited pattern, resisting the temptation to canvass all of Islam for analogues, and centers chiefly on the Libro itself.…
Dante's Heavenly Rose
The figure of the rose with which Dante tops the soaring structure of his Paradiso may seem to have stimulated comment enough by now, and the present note, pointing out yet another possible analogue, serve merely to expand the raw bulk of such materials, which, though interesting in themselves, add little essential to our knowledge of the poem.

The Passage of the Souls to Purgatory in the Divina Commedia
As the second canto of the Purgatorio opens, Dante's attention is attracted by a light which, swiftly approaching, discloses the form of wings. ‘Fa, fa che le ginnochia cali: ecco l' angel di Dio: piega le mani: omai vedrai di si fatti officiali. Vedi che sdegna li argomenti umani, sì che remo non vuol nè altro velo che l' ali sue tra liti sì lontani. Vedi come l' ha dritte verso il cielo, trattando l' aere con l' etterne penne, che non si mutan …
