Dante And Aquinas Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Dante and Aquinas The purpose of this book is, in the first instance, to bring out this special significance of Dante's work by helping to throw out its distinctive features against the background of the accepted and authoritative exposition of the received philo sophy and theology of his time, while at the same time enriching his utterances by relating them to the implications and presuppositions on which they are grounded. But I trust that the sketch of the scholastic philosophy, and especially of the teaching of Aquinas, necessarily subordinate as it is, may have some independent value, and may be found useful to many whose interest, or at the lowest curiosity, has been roused in relation to mediaeval philosophy, and who do not know where to turn for a disinterested and popular treat ment of the subject free from all propagandis't or polemical intention.

Excerpt from Dante's Ten Heavens: A Study of the Paradiso In this second edition portions have been largely revised, but the work as a whole remains the same. I have mainly followed Witte's text of the Divina Commedia, though not invariably. The Minor Works, with the exception of one or two passages from the Canzoni, are quoted from the Oxford Dante. The translation of the De Monarchia quoted is always Mr. Church's; that of the Divina Commedia is for the most part Longfellow's, excepting where no name is appended. The Convivio is my own, though it owes much to Miss Hillard's version, which I had adopted in the first edition. For the Second Part of the Summa Theologiea I have frequently availed myself of the abbreviated version in Aquinas Ethi cus. The appended list of books is not a complete bibliography, but merely represents the works more frequently consulted or found more helpful.

Excerpt from The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, Vol. 3 Proem. - Invocation. -beatrice and Dante ascend to the Sphere of Fire - Beatrice explains the cause of their ascent. The glory of Him who moves everything peneo trates through the universe, and shines in one part more and in another less. In the heaven that receives most of its light I have been, and have seen things which he who descends from there above neither knows how nor is able to recount; because, drawing near to its own desire,1 our under standing enters so deep, that the memory cannot follow. Truly whatever of the Holy Realm I could treasure up in my mind shall now be the theme of my song. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Dante Alighieri This little book lays no claim to originality, and makes no pretence to learning or research. It is addressed rather to the so-called general reader than to the serious Dante student. The narrative is taken largely from the pages of Villani, Boccaccio, and from other similar sources. The reader will find fiction (at any rate from the critics point of view) as well as fact in these pages, but he will, I hope, be at no loss to distinguish between the two. The legends and traditions which hang around the name of a great personality are a not unimportant element in bis biography, and may sometimes serve to place him as well as, if not better than, the more sober estimates of the serious historian. I have not, therefore, thought it outside the scope of this sketch of Dante's life to include some of the anecdotes which at an early date began to he associated with bis name, though certain of them demonstrably belong to a far earlier period.
