Not illustrated. 1766 Excerpt: ... tomb is the first that one meets with on the way thither, being on an eminence in a garden. It was originally built in the form of a pyramid; but the lower part, which is all that now remains of it, is not unlike a large oven. This ancient ruin generally passes for the monument of that divine poet Virgil, but without any sufficient grounds for such a conjecture. It has a shrub growing on the top of it, with a broad thin leaf, like that of the sycamore-tree, which they commonly call laurel, but it is not in the least either laurel or bay, as many writers will have it f. There is a wretched distich inscribed on a wall just over the entrance of the place, enough to frighten the remains of Virgil, if ever they were deposited there. It is certain this poet was buried at Naples; but I think it is almost as certain, that his tomb stood on the other side of the town, which looks towards Vesiivio. Addison, p. 132. f The mausoleum is now overgrown with shrubs and bustles, among which are a few laurel-trees, supposed by the credulous to grow again, though often rooted up. Keyllcr, v. ii. p. 433. II. Pausi II. Pausilypo.--This is a subterranean way cut through a rocky mountain, about 600 yards, or 830 common paces, in length, just wide enough for one carriage to pass another. The entrance is near 100 feet high, but goes sloping downwards to the center, where two holes are made at the top slanting, to throw in the light along the road. The bottom is said to be paved, by many authors, but if it ever was, there are no traces now of any pavement left f. The stone cut out here is good for building, so that as this opened the way from Puzzuoli to Naples, it was also a quarry for building the town. The rule is, when any person goes through this passage from Naples, to take t...

This first volume of Robert Durling's new translation of The Divine Comedy brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dante's extraordinary vision of Hell, with all its terror, pathos, and humor. Remarkably true to both the letter and spirit of this central work of Western literature, Durling's is a prose translation (the first to appear in twenty-five years), and is thus free of the exigencies of meter and rhyme that hamper recent verse translations. As Durling notes, "the closely literal style is a conscious effort to convey in part the nature of Dante's Italian, notoriously craggy and difficult even for Italians." Rigorously accurate as to meaning, it is both clear and supple, while preserving to an unparalleled degree the order and emphases of Dante's complex syntax.The Durling-Martinez Inferno is also user-friendly. The Italian text, newly edited, is printed on each verso page; the English mirrors it in such a way that readers can easily find themselves in relation to the original terza rima. Designed with the first-time reader of Dante in mind, the volume includes comprehensive notes and textual commentary by Martinez and Durling: both are life-long students of Dante and other medieval writers (their Purgatorio and Paradiso will appear next year). Their introduction is a small masterpiece of its kind in presenting lucidly and concisely the historical and conceptual background of the poem. Sixteen short essays are provided that offer new inquiry into such topics as the autobiographical nature of the poem, Dante's views on homosexuality, and the recurrent, problematic body analogy (Hell has a structure parallel to that of the human body). The extensive notes, containing much new material, explain the historical, literary, and doctrinal references, present what is known about the damned souls Dante meets --from the lovers who spend eternity in the whirlwind of their passion, to Count Ugolino, who perpetually gnaws at his enemy's skull--disentangle the vexed party politics of Guelfs and Ghibellines, illuminate difficult and disputed passages, and shed light on some of Dante's unresolved conflicts.
