The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 4 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 4" by Dante Alighieri is a narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This second cantica follows Dante's journey through Purgatory, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. Here, souls undergo penance for the seven deadly sins—cleansing love perverted through excess, deficiency, or malice—as they ascend Mount Purgatory toward the Garden of Eden. The work explores divine justice and the soul's path toward
God through medieval Catholic theology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
