About Dante Alighieri Dante Alighieri, the Author:
An early outside indication that the poem was underway is a notice by Francesco da Barberino, tucked into his Documenti d'Amore (Lessons of Love), written probably in 1314 or early 1315; speaking of Virgil, Francesco notes in appreciative words that Dante followed the Roman classic in a poem called 'Comedy' and that the setting of this poem (or part of it) was the underworld; i.e., hell. ...Dante's other works include Convivio ('The Banquet'), a collection of his longest poems with an (unfinished) allegorical commentary; Monarchia, a summary treatise of political philosophy in Latin which was condemned and burned after Dante's death by the Papal Legate Bertrando del Poggetto, which argues for the necessity of a universal or global monarchy in order to establish universal peace in this life, and this monarchy's relationship to the Roman Catholic Church as guide to eternal peace; De vulgari eloquentia ('On the Eloquence of Vernacular'), on vernacular literature, partly inspired by the Razos de trobar of Raimon Vidal de Bezaudun; and, La Vita Nuova ('The New Life'), the story of his love for Beatrice Portinari, who also served as the ultimate symbol of salvation in the Comedy.
