The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 01 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 01" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This epic work follows Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil and later by Beatrice, Dante encounters divine justice where souls receive punishment or reward based on their earthly actions. The poem allegorically represents the soul's
journey toward God, drawing on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
