Boccaccio, Petrarch, and the Invention of "Dante" - Joseph Luzzi 

Brilliant lecture and incredibly thoughtful Q and A chapter - reference to Botichelli and underlining reasons in diminishing significance for Dante from theological point of view

This is an excellent piece of scholarship. So clear and so profound, with such a difficult subject!

Wow I have heard a lot and I hope I have learnt a lot.If learning means senses I have definitely learnt a lot.Thanks you very much Sir.

thanks for sharing! Who is this man?!

That was amazing!

Amazing lecture!!!

Also, Primo Levi also refers to the same Ulysses quote.

Very interesting lecturer.

so interesting!!!

You may consider Boccaccio story as a faithful translation of the original version in Italian. Comment on the prose and the method of story-telling in the story in relation to any modern story that you have read.

Engrossing!
