Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tophet and Eden: Hell and Paradise; In Imitation of Dante´s Inferno and Paradiso; From the Hebrew of Immanuel Ben Ben Solomon Romi, Dante´s Contemporary The accompanying effort is no more than what it professes to be, namely, a tiny leaf added to the ever green laurel-wreath which is placed upon the Altar of Time to the memory of Italy´s greatest poet - author of the Divina Commedia, the sexcentenary of whose death occurs in the September of this year. In presenting, as far as I know for the first time in the English language, a literal translation (in rhymed prose) of the Hebrew rhymed-prosed imitation by Immanuel Romi of his friend Dante´s immortal work, I merely wish to give an example (to be judged by outward form rather than by details) of the literary influence which Dante had upon this Hebrew writer, himself one of the most curious instances of contrast in human nature, if we base our opinion upon the thoughts which he has himself expressed in his collection of writings, known as the Mechaberoth. My purpose is neither a study of the literary work or activities in general of Dante nor of Immanuel, but in solemn admiration for the literary pyramid erected by the former, and fascinated by the marvellous dexterity with which the latter was able to employ the Hebrew tongue, I shall be glad if this humble tribute of mine will do something to demonstrate the close connection in style and thought between one of Immanuel´s treatises and Dante´s Inferno and Paradiso. I come before the public to-day not as an interpreter or literary critic and historian, but simply as a translator.
