| Summary: | In 1373, the Comune of Florence paid a belated homage to the poet that it had previously exiled, by inviting Giovanni Boccaccio to give public lectures on the Divina Commedia. Since then, the Lectura Dantis has become a well-established tradition in the field of Dante Studies. The Lectura Dantis Purgatorio. A Canto-by-Canto Commentary is a volume of collected essays, each by a different Dantista, and is the companion to Allen Mandelbaum's English translation of the Commedia. The commentary to the Inferno has already been published; the Lectura Dantis Purgatorio is going to be followed by a volume of collected essays on the Paradiso., It is noteworthy that about one-third of the 33 contributors are women; most essayists are North Americans, but European scholars are also well represented. |
