Thank you! I could listen to hours of this discussion of Dante. Wonderful wrap up! One nugget I wanted to point out that was so insightful to me was: Dr. Kim pointed out that Moses never reached the Promised Land and maybe that was part of the idea Dante was working with in regards to Virgil. God bless everyone who contributed and everyone who came together to grow!
I might not ever have attempted reading The Divine Comedy without all of your insightful lectures to help me through the process! Thank you so much for making these available to us!! I very much enjoyed it!
Thanks to all of you for guiding a most womderful trip. This was not the first time I’ve read the Commedia but certainly the most enjoyable and rewarding.
Thank you to all who were involved in 100 Days of Dante. I cannot express in words my gratitude for your lectures, for your time and thought and passion. I have just finished, a bit slow, but, happy to have had the time to read 2 translations and to listen to all your lectures. Without you, I would still be lost in that dark wood. It has been a wild ride and has opened up a new perspective, a fullness in the atmosphere. Now, that I have found it, I don't know how I lived without it, and great is my longing to live always in this newfound paradise. When, I stray, I find myself slowing down until I am still enough to find my way back to all that Dante, and my wise and learned guides (all of you) have taught me. Thank You All.
Thank you to all the professors who contributed their insights and especially to Baylor University for spearheading this tremendous project and to all those who made this possible! What an amazing journey it has been! ❤️
What a wonderful way to wrap up our reading of the Divine Comedy! I was wondering if anyone knew of a good book about Dante’s relationship with his native Florence? I’m looking specifically for a book that would outline all of the references throughout the entire Comedy of Dante’s criticism of Florence’s political and ecclesiastical corruption, as well as his celebration and love for his city. I know they’re sprinkled liberally throughout all three volumes - I was just hoping to find a book that would make it easier to go back through it all and research just that topic.
