On 30 April 1921, in honor of the 600th anniversary of Dante's death, Pope Benedict XV promulgated an encyclical named In praeclara summorum, naming Dante as one "of the many celebrated geniuses of whom the Catholic faith can boast" and the "pride and glory of humanity". [66] The work was originally simply titled Comedìa ( pronounced [komeˈdiːa], Tuscan for "Comedy") – so also in the first printed edition, published in 1472 – later adjusted to the modern Italian Commedia. The adjective Divina was added by Giovanni Boccaccio, [13] owing to its subject matter and lofty style, [14] and the first edition to name the poem Divina Comedia in the title was that of the Venetian humanist Lodovico Dolce, [15] published in 1555 by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari.

a b c Vallone, Aldo. "Commedia" (trans. Robin Treasure). In: Lansing (ed.), The Dante Encyclopedia, 181-84. In Dante's Commedia: Theology as Poetry, an international group of theologians and Dante scholars provide a uniquely rich set of perspectives focused on the relationship between theology and poetry in the Commedia. Examining Dante's treatment of questions of language, personhood, and the body; his engagement with the theological tradition he inherited; and the implications of his work for contemporary theology, the contributors argue for the close intersection of theology and poetry in the text as well as the importance of theology for Dante studies. Through discussion of issues ranging from Dante's use of imagery of the Church to the significance…

I think this work stands out as the strongest short introduction for probably three reasons. The first is that it’s lively and accessible without oversimplifying major issues concerning Dante’s politics, religion, poetics and sexuality. It’s also based on his own long study of Dante which resulted in one of the best critical accounts – his 1999 book Dante’s Testaments: Essays in Scriptural Imagination. And thirdly it derives from a long experience of teaching the subject. For instance, chapter three begins with the wonderful sentence: ‘There comes a time in every Dante class where someone blows the whistle on Beatrice.’ [Dante’s inamorata and guide.] Then it goes into a dramatisation of conversations between students about Dante’s relationship with Beatrice. That is some indication of its accessibility. Eiss, Harry (2017). Seeking God in the Works of T.S. Eliot and Michelangelo. New Castle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars. ISBN 978-1-44384-390-4.

In your third book, Dante in English(2005), Griffiths and Reynolds present the influence of Dante through other artists’ work. What’s their focus?BBC Culture’s Stories that shaped the world series looks at epic poems, plays and novels from around the globe that have influenced history and changed mindsets. A poll of writers and critics, 100 Stories that Shaped the World, was published in May. Unrhymed terzines. The first U.S. translation, raising American interest in the poem. It is still widely available, including online. Dante’s Divine Comedy has flourished for more than 650 years and has been considered a major work since Giovanni Boccaccio wrote a biography of Dante in 1373. By 1400, at least 12 commentaries had already been written on the poem’s meaning and significance. The work is a major part of the Western canon, and T.S. Eliot, who was greatly influenced by Dante, put Dante in a class with only one other poet of the modern world, Shakespeare, saying that they ”divide the modern world between them. There is no third.” If one wanted to go for a complete translation, though – because it is such a pity for people to stop after the Inferno – I’d suggest the Everyman edition by Allen Mandelbaum, an American poet and professor who has given us one of the more readable verse translations of the Commedia. It’s not as scholarly as the Durling and Martinez, although there are plenty of notes by a Dante scholar. It’s the translation I use most in teaching Dante at university. A complete translation should encourage readers to go beyond the Inferno, through to Purgatorio – especially because, as I said, Purgatorio is the most ‘of this world’ part of the Commedia.
