Translation and commentary are often associated with institutions and patronage; but in Italy around the time of Dante, widespread vernacular translation was mostly on the spontaneous initiative of individuals. While Dante is usually the starting point for histories of vernacular translation in Europe, this book demonstrates that The Divine Comedy places itself in opposition to a vast vernacular literature already in circulation among its readers. Alison Cornish explores the anxiety of vernacularization as expressed by translators and contemporary authors, the prevalence of translation in religious experience, the role of scribal mediation, the influence of the Italian reception of French literature on that literature, and how translating into the vernacular became a project of nation-building only after its virtual demise during the Humanist period. Vernacular translation was a phenomenon with which all authors in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe - from Brunetto Latini to Giovanni Boccaccio - had to contend.

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His 'La Comedia' (Comedy) or 'La Divina Comedia' (Divine Comedy) is considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. Along with Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Peterarch, they are often referred to as the fathers of Italian literature, or the fathers of the Italian language. They set the stage for the flourishing of vernacular Italian literature that followed. At a time when most poetry was written in Latin, Dante's 'De Vulgari Eloquentia' (On the Eloquence of the Vernacular) discusses the relationship between Latin and the vernacular languages, searching for an 'illustrious' vernacular in the Italian region. The second book is an analysis of the structure of the canto or song, a literary genre developed in the Sicilian School of poetry. He presents an argument for giving vernacular language the same dignity and legitimacy as Latin. In his opinion language was not something static, but something that evolves and needs historical contextualisation. Though it as originally meant to consist of four books, it ends abruptly in the middle of the second book. Dante's Medieval Latin frequently makes use of the first person plural 'we' instead of 'I', and frequently refers to people in the Italian peninsula as 'Latins' rather than Italians which was still commonplace at the time. This is further evidence that the 'Latin' identity remained due to the Holy Roman Empire and Roman Catholic Christianity. The text is presented in the original Medieval Latin, with a literal word-for-word line-by-line translation, and a Modern English translation, all side-by-side. In this way, it is possible to see and feel how Medieval Latin works. Also included is a word list with 3693 Medieval Latin words translated in to English, and 3007 English words translated into Medieval Latin. This book is designed to be of use and interest to anyone with a passion for the Latin language, medieval history, or languages and history in general.

A new edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's classic verse translation of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, including all three volumes of Dante's classic trilogy: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The Divine Comedy (or Divina Commedia) is an epic-length narrative poem, written between 1308 and 1320 in the vernacular Tuscan of the era, that is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and a foundational work of the literary canon. The poem traces the narrator's journey through the afterlife -- visiting first hell, then purgatory, and then paradise -- and presents an imaginative vision of the afterlife that provides great insight into the medieval Catholic worldview. Longfellow's verse translation was originally published in 1867 and is considered to be a literary masterpiece in its own right.

Written in 1303-05, when Dante was in political exile from his native Florence, De vulgari eloquentia addresses the problem of how to raise the Italian language to the status of Latin in the esteem of the literate public. It is the fullest and most important document concerning vernacular writing in the Middle Ages—indeed, the earliest work of literary criticism dealing with a vernacular language. Marianne Shapiro offers the most detailed discussion in English of De vulgari eloquentia, whose form and spirit reflect Dante's political unrest and alienation. Hers is the first work in any language to analyze and explain the meaning of the grammatical and rhetorical terminology that Dante used in his treatise. And because her translation—included here—is based on a thorough exegesis of that terminology, it will be recognized as definitive. Shapiro’s translation will be of special interest to medievalists and to serious readers of The Divine Comedy. In a later section, she considers the less precursors of Dante as a writer of the “Romance idiom” and their influence on him. Then she concentrates on the least studied aspects of the treatise in order to reveal its profound affiliations with late medieval grammatical investigations—it is possible to see in Dante “a grammarian beneath the poet.” Her conclusion summarizes the apparent textual contradictions and the significance. Thus, this book provides a thorough historical, philosophical, and rhetorical context for De vulgari eloquentia and a new English translation that is enriched by that scholarship.

This edition gives a side-by-side parallel translation of Dante's Divine Comedy using Longfellow's translation. The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is generally considered to be the preeminent work of Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem is written in the Tuscan dialect, and the poem helped establish this dialect as the standardized Italian language. The poem is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. At the superficial level, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it ia an allegory of the soul's journey towards God. In order to articulate this journey towards God, Dante uses on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Longfellow's translation is considered to be the best translation, overall. Longfellow, being a poet himself, was able to create a flowing translation that has not been surpassed.
