A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The title given to this little book explains the object I had in view in writing it. It is not intended to be a commentary of the text of the Divine Comedyj nor will it furnish annotations of historical events and persons. The students of Dante, for it is meant for them, ard Bupposed to be amply provided with works of thai kindj and to make a free use of them in the intel Ug-enl! reading of the lines. The Introduction is to fill, in a manner, the office of a mentor, die duty of a guide, standing, as it were, by the side of the reader who has determined to follow Vergil and Dante step by step in the journey through the dark regions of the city of woe. Like the shade of the Roman, it will point out in each canto, or chapter their actions, register their words, adding such necessary explanations and interpretations as can be warranted only by the concordant authority of an uniniterrupted scries of scholars, who, from the middle of the fourteenth century to our owri times, have handed down, one to another, the torch of literary succession fixing thus the canons of the traditional sense of the poem.
