The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 2 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 2" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This epic work follows Dante's journey through the afterlife's three realms: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In Purgatory, the second cantica, Dante ascends Mount Purgatory guided by the Roman poet Virgil, witnessing how souls cleanse themselves of the seven deadly sins. The poem allegorically represents the penitent Christian life,
portraying divine justice through medieval Catholic theology and philosophy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
