Produktbeschreibung

However, without any pretensions to being "critical", the text presented here is electic and being not persuaded of the exclusive authority of any manuscript, the editor has felt free to adopt readings from various branches of the stemma. One major addition to this second volume is in the notes, where is found the Intercantica - a section for each canto that discusses its relation to the Inferno and which will make it easier for the reader to relate the different parts of the Comedy as a whole.

---

The second volume of Oxford's new "Divine Comedy" presents the Italian text of the "Purgatorio" and, on facing pages, a new prose translation. Continuing the story of the poet's journey through the medieval Other World, the "Purgatorio" culminates in the regaining of the Garden of Eden and the reunion there with the poet's long-lost love Beatrice.
