In Canto XVIII of Paradiso, Dante sees thirty-five letters of
Scripture - LOVE JUSTICE, YOU WHO RULE THE EARTH - 'painted' one
after the other in the sky. It is an epiphany that encapsulates the
Paradiso, staging its ultimate goal - the divine vision. This book
offers a fresh, intensive reading of this extraordinary passage at
the heart of the third canticle of the Divine Comedy. While
adapting in novel ways the methods of the traditional lectura
Dantis, William Franke meditates independently on the
philosophical, theological, political, ethical, and aesthetic ideas
that Dante's text so provocatively projects into a multiplicity of
disciplinary contexts. This book demands that we question not only
what Dante may have meant by his representations, but also what
they mean for us today in the broad horizon of our intellectual
traditions and cultural heritage.
