    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.

    Just what I needed to hear after hearing an unflattering review of it by a goon, thanks 🙏

      Anyone who doesn’t love Dante is a complete philistine.

      "I want to read this". "Won't" means "will not".

    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.

      @@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.

    Yours not withstanding, how would you rank the top 3 English translations of this work?

    What’s the name of the Novel mentioned at around 56:00? I can’t get it all down correctly.

    Prof David Allen White stated there are papal encyclicals written on the Divine Comedy (I haven’t verified this).
