The World of Dante



This is not 'strictly' related to English Catholic history, however, we all should be aware of what layer of Hell we might end up in if we're not careful. This is a wonderful initiative from the University of Virginia and is a crucial tool for any scholar interested in Dante. I wholeheartedly recommend it:

The blurb from the website is thus:


'The World of Dante is a multi-media research tool intended to facilitate the study of the Divine Comedy through a wide range of offerings. These include an encoded Italian text which allows for structured searches and analyses, an English translation, interactive maps, diagrams, music, a database, timeline and gallery of illustrations. Many of these features allow users to engage the poem dynamically through the integrated components of this site.'
