Dante's Convivio, composed in exile between 1304 and 1307, is a
series of self-commentaries on three of Dante's long poems. These
allegorical love poems and philosophical verse become the basis for
philosophical, literary, moral, and political exposition. The prose
is written in Italian so that those who were not educated in Latin
could take part in what Dante called his 'banquet of knowledge'. In
this edition, eminent Dante translator-scholar Andrew Frisardi
offers the first fully annotated translation of the work into
English, with an extensive introduction, making Dante's often
complex writings accessible to scholars and students. The parallel
Italian text is also included for the first time in an English
translation of the Convivio. Readers of this work can gain a strong
understanding of the philosophical themes across Dante's work,
including the Divine Comedy, as well as the logic, politics and
science of his time.
