Notes

Dante Alighieri, born in 1265 in Florence, Italy, is one of the most significant poets of the Middle Ages. He is best known for his monumental epic, "The Divine Comedy," which is considered a cornerstone of Italian literature and a profound allegory of the soul's journey toward God. Written in vernacular Italian, the work is divided into three parts—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—and explores themes of sin, redemption, and divine justice. Dante's intricate portrayal of the afterlife has left an enduring impact on literature and theology, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest literary figures in history.
