Professor Celia Easton HUMANITIES 220, SUNY Geneseo Background to The Inferno Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321 Born in Florence: middle class Two poltical parties in the 13 th century dominated Florence. The Guelfs: supported the Pope. The Ghibellines: supported the Emperor and the aristocratic families. These two groups had bitter conflicts; ultimately only the Guelfs survived. 1290's: Guelfs split into White Guelfs and Black Guelfs. The White Guelf partyassociated with the old Ghibelline partywas composed of merchants and traders. The Black Guelfs were led by old banking families. 1300: Dante, age 35, has an important government postprior or magistrate. He is closer to the White Guelf party. Pope Boniface VIII sides with the banking interests, the Black Guelfs. In 1300, the six priors of Florence stated their opposition to Boniface's plans to have the Catholic Church control the economies of Florence and Tuscany. Boniface moves to have them ex-communicated. In 1301, Dante leaves Florence on a mission to gain support for his and others' opposition to the Black Guelfs. While he is away, the Black Guelfs completely take over Florence, and Dante is EXILED from his native city. He refuses to face the charges and is sentenced to death in Florence. This keeps him in exile for the rest of his life. Dante writes all of The Divine Comedy Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise)

THE DIVINE COMEDY Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321) Type of work: Allegorical religious poem, written about 1310. Setting: Hell, Purgatory and Paradise; A.D. 1300 Principal characters: Dante, the Pilgrim Virgil, the Poet, and Dante's guide Beatrice, Dante's womanly ideal and religious inspiration (his Mary image) Story Overview: Prologue: Dante, realizing he has strayed from the "true way" (religion) into worldliness (philosophy), tells of a vision where he travels through all the levels of Hell, up the mount of Purgatory, and finally through the realms of Paradise, where he is allowed a brief glimpse of God. The traveler sets out on the night before Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, and finds himself in the middle of a dark wood. There he encounters three beasts: a she-wolf (incontinence), a lion (violence), and a leopard (representing fraud). Fortunately, his lady, Beatrice, along with the Virgin Mary herself, sends the spirit of Virgil, the classical Latin poet, to guide Dante through much of his journey. But as much as Dante admires and reveres Virgil, and though Dante considers him to have prophesied of the coming of Christ, Virgil is not a Christian (he lived in the pre-Christian era). To Dante he represents human knowledge, or "unholy" reason, which represents the heights which Man’s mind can attain without Divine intervention but cannot lead a person to God. This infidel may not pass into the highest realms. Thus, Dante is ultimately led to Heaven by Beatrice, his own personal and unattainable incarnation of the Virgin, who represents Divine Knowledge, or faith.

This is not only a reference to the Christian Trinity, but also a reference to the three-fold structure of the Hermetic kosmos. His classical education should not be underestimated. Secondly, he writes 34 cantos for Inferno and 33 cantos for each of Purgatorio and Paradiso . If the first canto of Inferno is understood as an introduction to his entire work, then there are 33 cantos that relate specifically to Inferno . So what does 33 mean? Obviously, it alludes to the age of Christ at his crucifixion and resurrection. A superficial reading of the Divine Comedy Thirdly, Dante writes
