Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri The twdve years which have elapsed since the first publication of my work have been fruitful in Dante literature. I may instance, in particular, Mr. Vernon's instructive Readings in the Inferno and the Purgatorio - soon, I hope, to be followed by those in the Paradiso Dr. Moore's valuable Studies in the Divina Commedia, and his Oxford Dante; Mr. Toynbee's excellent Index thereto, and his no less excellent Dante Dictionary; and Mr. Gardner's Dante's Ten Heavens; remarkable for its insight into the Theology of the Mystics, and its exposition of the functions attributed in Dante's time to the several Orders of the Angelic Hierarchies. To turn from our own country - the Italian Dante Society, the Giornale Dantesco, and such scholars as (to name but two out of many) Signori Del Lungo and Scherillo, have made important contributions to the study of the times, life and works of the divine Poet Dr. Scartazzini has conferreda boon on Students by his Enciclopedia Dantesca; and we are indebted to America for Mr. Fay's most useful concordance of the Divina Commedia.
