by Dante Alighieri

Edited by Israel Gollancz M.A.

This is the third and final part of Dante's epic Divine Comedy after 'Inferno' and 'Purgatorio.' Dante Alighieri was a 13th-century Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. He is most famous for his Divine Comedy, which paints a picture of the medieval vision of the afterlife, including hell, purgatory, and heaven. It is widely considered to be one of the most celebrated works of Italian literature, and perhaps of all time.

This edition, of which this is the fifth printing, is part of the Temple Classics series published by J.M. Dent in the beginning of the nineteenth century. It was edited by Israel Gollancz, an English scholar of early literature.
