Dante's Contrapasso: Context and Texts
For Francesco Mazzoni ‘Così s'osserva in me lo contrapasso.’ With these words Bertran de Born, in the bolgia of the sowers of discord, explains that his brain-pan (‘cerebro’) has been divided from its source in his trunk (‘troncone’) because, in life, he split apart people as closely joined together as a father and son (Inf. XXVIII. 136–42). The use of osservare means either that the causal relationship between his sin and his punishment is now e…

The Twelve Ambassadors and Ugolino's Jubilee Inscription: Dante's Florence and the Tartars in 1300
Questi non ciberà terra né peltro, ma sapïenza, amore e virtute, e sua nazion sarà tra feltro e feltro. With these words, in the first canto of the Comedy, Dante's Virgil predicts the future arrival of the Veltro who, by driving the she-wolf back into Hell, will be the salvation of ‘quella umile Italia’ where Aeneas founded his state, the divinely willed origin of Rome and its world-wide Empire. The enigmatic sign by which this poor, wise, loving…

The Prisoner and the Veil: The Symbolism of Michelangelo's Tomb of Julius Ii
The complicated history of Michelangelo's projects for the tomb of Pope Julius II — from the first plans of 1505 and 1513 to the reduced version which now stands in the church of S. Pietro in Vincoli in Rome — has been the subject of many careful studies, and the outline and details of the various contracts, alterations, and setbacks in the protracted ‘tragedy of the tomb’ are by now reasonably well established. However, the precise iconographica…

Michelangelo's Moses: A Text in Stone
As a statue, a larger-than-lifesize, three-dimensional block of marble shaped in a particular, indeed unique, way into a human form, Michelangelo's MOSES is, of course, an entirely visual statement. The artist's hand, however, was obeying his intellect when it released his concept from the stone, and the purpose of this study is to attempt to illustrate how this image offered to the eye can be read in a similar way to a passage in Dante's Comedy,…

Dante's Brunetto: The Paternal Paterine
Un amen non saria possuto dirsi tosto COSí com' e' fuoro spariti. (Inferno, XVI. 88–89) With this simile of the unspoken 'Amen' Dante concludes the central episode in his treatment of those who sinned by violence against God or nature, and appears to confirm its judgements and lessons and accept his ensuing destiny and duties. He has met souls from two groups running on the burning sand under the falling flakes of fire, and this episode is framed…

Matelda in Eden: The Teacher and the Apple
As a poetic creation, Dante's Matelda is a wonderfully realized lady of natural beauty, shining love, and spontaneous joy; in terms of concept and interpretation, she poses a series of apparently insuperable problems. For six cantos she remains as a constant and integral element in Dante's presentation of the final stages of purification in the garden of original innocence, and yet to us she seems indeed to resemble both types of nymph to which s…
What Parents Think About Child Rearing
In a survey of current attitudes of parents towards child rearing, 386 parents of 4th grade children completed questionnaires containing Hereford's Parent Attitude Scale. Results indicated that parents with the highest education and occupational status were: more confident in themselves as parents; more inclined to believe that they could influence their child's behaviour; more accepting of the child as an individual; shared ideas and feelings mo…
