Excerpt from Inscriptions From Dante's Divina Commedia in the Streets of Florence The "Commune" of Florence has put up inscriptions from Dante's Commedia to mark all the places mentioned in the great epic and all the sites, where stood the houses of the families alluded to. Many of the verses convey but little or no meaning to one, who is not familiar with every line and every word of the famous poem. I have therefore compiled this little guide-book to explain the "inscriptions from Dante in the streets of Florence" for those who have not the time to study them themselves.

The Convivio di Dante Alighieri is a philosophical essay composed in the years between 1304 and 1307 after Dante's political exile in Florence. Dante wrote in Italian and the book is a landmark in the use of Tuscan language for serious literature. He chose Italian rather than Latin because he wanted all people to be able to read and understand his ideas. The unfinished essay has four separate parts. In the first book, Dante metaphorically represents the book as a banquet of wisdom, where the poetry sections are the main courses and the prose sections are the bread. In Dante's conception, the guests of the banquet are wisdom-seekers who are too busy with politics to purse their studies. Since Dante was in political exile, he was also making a point about the self-absorbed politicians who fought him. In the second book, Dante explains that after his beloved Beatrice's death, he started studying philosophy and fell in love with the subject. For Dante, philosophy is personified by a woman and the love he feels for her. In the third book he carefully describes this woman and defines philosophy as a loving use of wisdom. Dante's primary argument is that philosophy suffers when it has ulterior motives. The philosophical seeker needs to love wisdom and seek it for its own sake. In the fourth book, Dante defines nobility, which he explains cannot truly be inherited. He says nobility can only be gained from God, by acting in accordance with principles and pursuing purity. He explains his political theories, which eventually are put forth in more detail in other texts. Dante wrote The Convivio as a defense of his reputation. He also wanted to show Italians that he had cultural value as a poet and philosopher. The philosophical and political ideas of The Convivio reappear in greater detail in later works, particularly in The Divine Comedy. The Convivio is an important work by one of the masters of world literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Earliest Lives of Dante These lives of Dante were written, one within fifty, the other within a hundred and twenty-five years, after the poet's death. Boccaccio was acquainted with at least four persons who, as we have reason to believe, knew Dante in the flesh, and he could draw his information from them as well as from popular tradition. Bruni, on the other hand, who, as he himself says, supplements the work of his predecessor, derives the bulk of his matter from public documents and let ters of Dante, which are not now extant. The value, then, Of their works lies in their nearness to authoritative sources. No other documents Of anything like equal importance as regards the life of Dante have come down to us. Our knowledge of the poet as he moved among men is almost wholly derived from these two lives and from his own works. The facts here presented are not all Of equal significance or trustworthiness. The dream of the poet's mother, the presumed unhappiness Of his marriage, the charge made against him of great licentiousness in youth and manhood, the dates here given of his works, the loss and recovery Of the last thirteen cantos of the C ommedia, have no evidence in their favor other than that which is here presented. But the main features Of his life: the time and place of his birth, his liberal education, his life-long love of Beatrice on earth and in the spirit, his marriage to Gemma Donati, his rise to the highest places in the government of Florence, his banishment and twenty years of exile, and the date and manner of his death, these things, I repeat, we know to be true.

Excerpt from With Dante in Modern Florence It will take some time to learn that the Florence of to-day is in reality a palimpsest; that under the writing of later scribes lies the original manuscript; that if he will be at pains to search for traces of the Divine Poet they may be found, even though six centuries have come and gone since he passed away into exile.

Excerpt from Dante and His Italy The plan of the work is simple. Opening with a bird's-eye view of Europe at the critical moment of Dante's life, the ideal date of his vision, it then starts afresh with the beginning of the century that closes with his death, and traverses the period in ever-narrowing circles: Europe, Italy, Florence, and finally Dante and his literary friends in Florence and his hosts in exile.

Excerpt from Dante Alighieri This little book lays no claim to originality, and makes no pretence to learning or research. It is addressed rather to the so-called general reader than to the serious Dante student. The narrative is taken largely from the pages of Villani, Boccaccio, and from other similar sources. The reader will find fiction (at any rate from the critics point of view) as well as fact in these pages, but he will, I hope, be at no loss to distinguish between the two. The legends and traditions which hang around the name of a great personality are a not unimportant element in bis biography, and may sometimes serve to place him as well as, if not better than, the more sober estimates of the serious historian. I have not, therefore, thought it outside the scope of this sketch of Dante's life to include some of the anecdotes which at an early date began to he associated with bis name, though certain of them demonstrably belong to a far earlier period.
