Abstract
The cantos devoted to the Terrestrial Paradise in Dante’s Comedy are crucial in the process of self-representation of the poet’s prophetic identity. To establish such a prophetic authority, he explicitly alludes to many scriptural prophets and visionaries. Starting from a reading of Chapter 7 of The Undivine ‘Comedy’, the article reflects on the ways in which such ‘theological’ claims and allusions could be interpreted in a ‘detheologized’ approach to Dante’s poem.File in questo prodotto:
