I love Dante’s Inferno. I was an English major, and as I was reading this (on my own), I thought how sad to not have this reviewed in a class because I could not access all of its wisdom and beauty on my own. Boy, was I right! This is perfect and exactly what I prayed for. Thank you! And the beautiful Italian ❤️🎶
Definitely the most enlightening explanation in a nutshell of Dante's masterpiece. I've been trying painfully to go through its French translation, but I missed a lot. Realize it just now. Thanks also for notes of humour. Highly appreciated.
Excuse me, professor there is a correction, Dante was born in 1265 and Thomas Aquinas died in 1274 that makes Dante the age of 9 years old young boy when Thomas Aquinas died.
@@theinfiniteawe He has apparently also never read a haiku. I don't know Italian, but I know what it is to be terse, and I've read enough Dante to know he isn't.

Beautiful interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Just what I needed to hear after hearing an unflattering review of it by a goon, thanks 🙏
Wait which one?
Anyone who doesn’t love Dante is a complete philistine.
Loved this!

Prof David Allen White stated there are papal encyclicals written on the Divine Comedy (I haven’t verified this).
Yours not withstanding, how would you rank the top 3 English translations of this work?
This the first time I ever heard of this poem wow I won't to read this .
"I want to read this". "Won't" means "will not".
Awesome thanks
What’s the name of the Novel mentioned at around 56:00? I can’t get it all down correctly.
The Bridge on the Drina (Ivo Andric)
33:20 "Dante doesn't waste any time. He's the most terse of poets." Possibly the silliest thing I've heard all week. I was amused .
I mean, this guy literally translated Dante from Italian to English. I think his opinion has some heft to it.

@@andrewweisbrod4506 He does pack a lot of meaning into his words.
