Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Italian Literature, Classical and Modern: Also, the Legend of IL Cenacolo, a Poem "Qual alto seggio T´ abhia assegnato Dio ne le sue glorie, Alighiero, non so. So che la tua Italia ti loco nel più sublime. So ch´ ella sempre t´ obliò nei giorni De la vilta: ma ai dì de la speranza Legge il tuo libro; e ormai piu non t´ oblia." Perhaps of the three parts of the "Divina Commedia" the "Paradiso" is the least dwelt upon by English students of the great Italian poet. It has the just reputation of being the part most difficult of comprehension in the whole poem. Those who attempt to read it are deterred from doing so by the allegories and metaphors which, frequently employed throughout the work, occur in almost every line of the "Paradiso;" by the arrangement of the heavenly spheres according to the now exploded Ptolemaical system; and, above all, by the theological and philosophical expositions which, it must be admitted, are not entirely free from the scholasticism prevalent in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. These appear to be some of the reasons why the "Paradiso," considered by Italian critics the greatest effort of Dante´s mind, is so little appreciated by foreigners.
