The text is an analysis of the introductory verses of The Divine Comedy by Dante. It has two main points of reference: The Banquet, which contains the kernels of the main ideas developed in Dante’s main work; and The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, which was undoubtedly Dante’s philosophical inspiration. The analysis aims at showing the complexity of Dante’s writing and its philosophical sources. Thus it also constitutes an introduction to reading The Divine Comedy.
