The work is to have very low cost in many paperback editions. All who opt for this hardcover edition will be amazed by the beautiful illustrations by Sandro Botticelli, which contains the book and which I shall return later. The book is
it is the main work of Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321), an allegorical and didactic poem called in 100 songs with 14 230 verses in terza rima, which Dante "Commedia." The writer was convinced that the Commedia contains no less truth than the Bible, however, that this truth dem Leser wie dem Autor selbst verborgen bleibe und man sich ihr letztlich nur bedingt annähern könne, (vgl.: S.21). Allegorie und Gematrie als Ausdrucksformen erzielen durch dieses Werk "des im Herbst angekommenen christlichen Mittelalters" seinen unbestrittenen Höhepunkt.
Thill R. Kuhnle meint in seiner Einführung, dass die "Commedia" ein hohes Maß an Übereinstimmung mit zahlreichen sich prophetisch gebenden Werken des Mittelalters aufweist und erläutert dies näher. Allerdings verschmolzen mit dem Bild seiner Geliebten, zeugt das Allegorische im Werk Dantes von einem Ich, welches seiner Zeit voraus war, (vgl :S. 23). Das Werk zeichnet das epische Bild eines Kosmos bedeutungsvoller Zeichen. Diese bewirken the readers for centuries a never-ending process of interpretation. The reason for this, according to Till R. Kuhnle, that each of these characters, created more characters and that is because everything can be in this world characters, because everyone in a world of empirical genome-Menem measure always falls to a number of symbolic value (see is:. p.24).
In Dante's "Accomplished utopia" according to Kuhn the border-crossing by Odysseus to return home. Kuhn concludes: "All desire and longing are all in danger after surviving a safe haven: the ideal space for the projection since Romanticism has become unmistakable suffering on the Faustian, and repeals anticipated in Dante by the power of love "... (quote p. 26) I agree with this idea, after I read the book,
In the introduction we learn to know Dante's origin and in this context, of course, that he from birth the aristocracy belonged, was therefore privileged. Dante was introduced by Brunetto in Roman literature, and dealt primarily with Virgil. Through lively exchange with fellow poets, he was motivated to write himself. His beloved Beatrice died in 1290 after she had married a few years earlier another. The time of your death coincides with the beginning of his interest in philosophy.
Despite scientific studies Dante and love has always busy with public affairs of his city, it will be well informed in the introduction, (see: 35ff). In the struggle for independence from Florence to the intervention efforts of Pope Boniface VIII Dante entangled in a non-winning success of the opposition, was exiled from Florence and from there led a wandering life. His last years were spent in Ravenna, where he died.
His work, he divides into:
-
Hell - Purgatory
- Paradise
Dante is the way of the sinful soul shows to salvation. The walker is guided by two guides, one part of Virgil, who is the embodiment of reason, science and philosophy is, on the other hand, by Beatrix, the glorified childhood sweetheart, now the symbol of divine grace. Accompanied the poet Virgil through Hell and Purgatory have the earthly paradise. Here he disappears at the time than is visible to Dante Beatrix, (see: p. 45). On his travels he meets by the way many famous dead souls, which he represents in terms of philosophy, theology, politics, government and church thoughtful questions.
Easy to read the texts. They contain a wealth of information that requires the secondary literature to be interpreted really good to.
come from the illustrations in the book a superb manuscript, which represents the joint work of two artists: the calligrapher and painter Nicolò Magnone Sandro Botticelli. Commissioned the work of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de 'Medici was. He was the second cousin Degree of the famous Lorenzo il Magnifico de 'Medici. We learn how the leaves are once formed, and that few of the leaves heard the planned coloring. The illustrations are the first complete cycle of the "Divina Commedia". Except for "Paradiso XXXI" any song with a full-page illustration was provided, with 35 for the "Inferno", with 22 for the "Purgatorio" and 31 for the "Paradiso". On the pictures you can see coffins hell, naked in tormenting people, those who seek to escape from nasty dragon, naked men in chains and many more depressing scenes. Purgatory is, if one may believe the pictures, not even a picnic and ultimately reflects Dante's texts resist excellent in this regard. However, it is really nice in paradise. Here also there is a ladder to heaven (Paradiso 21) leads, in the divine spheres.
Recommended for lovers of beautiful books.
