Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Paradise by Dante Alighieri
QR code
"Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Paradise" by Dante Alighieri is an allegorical poem written in the early 14th century. It follows Dante's ascent through Heaven, guided by Beatrice, who represents theology. Paradise unfolds as nine concentric spheres—from the Moon to the Primum Mobile—before reaching the Empyrean, God's dwelling place. Along his journey, Dante encounters blessed souls whose placement reflects cardinal and theological virtues. Each sphere reveals insights about faith, justice, love, and the
soul's ultimate reunion with the divine. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
