Discussing The 'Divine Comedy' With Dante: On Crowdsourcing And Transcultural Resonance,

Discussing The 'Divine Comedy' With Dante: On Crowdsourcing And Transcultural Resonance, Elizabeth Coggeshall
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
Departing from the enigmatic 2006 Chinese-oil-painting-turned-digital-curio Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante, this essay first defines the conceptual framework behind Dante Today, a crowdsourced but curated digital archive that catalogs references to Dante and his works across contemporary global cultures. Then it explains our editorial decision to employ crowdsourcing as the principal mechanism behind collection development. This choice has advantages and pitfalls. On the one hand, crowdsourcing enables the participation of large and diverse publics in collection development, engaging the “crowd” in scholarly practice. On the other hand, outsourcing collection development to the “crowd” threatens to replicate the …

Exploring Dante’S Sources Online: Interactive Reading, Visualizations, And The Study Of Dantean Intertextuality In The Digital Age, Julie Van Peteghem
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
Dante’s Commedia is a highly allusive text, and readers throughout time have noted the many parallels between Dante’s verses and those of others. Now that the text of the Commedia and various scholarly and artistic interpretations of the poem (commentaries, translations, illuminated manuscripts) have become accessible online, also the concordance, the lists of parallel passages in Dante’s poem and other works, has become a digital resource. In this essay I explore the study of Dante’s sources in a digital environment mainly through the Intertextual Dante project and its Dante-Ovid edition, published on Digital Dante. Intertextual Dante visualizes moments of …

'Status Quaestionis' Of Dantean Digital Resources. Some Corrective Theoretical Perspectives And A Case Study (Database Allegorico Dantesco), Matteo Maselli

This paper reflects on the current configuration of Dantean digital resources and proposes some possible perspectives to implement their functionality (disambiguation, RDF and Semantic Web, Distant & Close Reading, attention to the processes of digitization of texts). The second part of the essay explains the structure and presents the basic functionality of the Database Allegorico Dantesco (DAD) a new repository on Dantean allegory.

Foul Tales, Public Knowledge: Bringing Dante's 'Divine Comedy' To Wikipedia, Laura Ingallinella
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
This contribution discusses WikiDante, a set of best practices for the implementation of content related to the Divine Comedy on Wikipedia, chiefly designed for (yet not limited to) the undergraduate classroom. Developed as a digital project involving undergraduate students in partnership with Wiki Education, WikiDante consisted of two iterations, the first of which created or revised entries on the women from Dante’s recent history mentioned in the poem. For two decades, scholars have treated Wikipedia as the proverbial elephant in the room—shunned, ignored, or shamefully used only in lack of more anointed tools. This essay explores the benefits of using …

The Global Popularity Of Dante's 'Divina Commedia': Translations, Libraries, Wikipedia, Jacob Blakesley
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
Studies of the translation and reception history of Dante’s Divina Commedia have rarely included the use of either distant reading (aka large-scale literary analysis) or Digital Humanities, much less both. However, using both these methods allows innovative research questions to be pursued and answered with regard to Dante’s fortuna, as I have shown in four previous articles regarding Dante and other writers. This contribution draws on three new datasets that I constructed myself in order to study canons of world literature, using Dante’s Divine Comedy as a case study: a comprehensive catalogue of all the worldwide complete translations of …

Stanford University
The Human Moment Of The Soul, Lorenzo Bartolucci
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
This article explores the idea of the soul through the framework of two of the most elusive terms in Dante’s Commedia, “umano” and “persona.” It begins with an analysis of the soul’s formation, outlined in Purgatorio 25, by way of the conjunction of corporeal matter and a supernal “spirito novo,” which after death seems to ascend beyond the realm of human existence. This account is then contrasted with the etymological and theological affordances of the concept of personhood, which frames the body as the form—the “mask” of flesh and bones—that continues to individuate the soul after death, immortalizing rather …

A World To See The Comedy By: Tom Phillips's Transmediations Of Dante, Mattia Petricola
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
Between 1976 and 1989, the production of British visual artist Tom Phillips (b. 1937) found its main source of inspiration in Dante and particularly in his Inferno. This article aims to provide a new approach to the question that drives, directly or indirectly, most of the scholarship on Phillips’s reception of Dante: how can we best describe the relation between the text of the Comedy and the images by Phillips that accompany it? Rather than relying on notions such as “adaptation” and “illustration”—which might prove inadequate to account for the text-image relations in Phillips’s works—I would propose to interpret …

From Wrath To Utopia. G. A. Borgese’S American Interpretation Of Dante (1931-1952), Federico Sessolo
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
This paper describes the influence exerted by Dante on the Italian antifascist exile Giuseppe Antonio Borgese (1882-1952), who fled from Mussolini’s Italy in 1931 to find refuge in the United States. In the 1930s and 1940s, Borgese made relevant contributions to the field of Italian Studies modernizing the American reception of Dante: his original interpretation—a blend of literary criticism and political theory, centered on the concept of «structural beauty»— was destined to generate unexpected outcomes in the post-war era, as the philosophical viewpoints stressed in Dante’s De Monarchia were to be planted, somehow unexpectedly, in the newborn ideology of world …

A New Spanish Translation Of The Commedia And Dante’S Renaissance Readers (1491-1550 Ca), Laura Banella
Bibliotheca Dantesca: Journal of Dante Studies
This essay focuses on two early copies of Dante’s vernacular poetry with idiosyncratic interventions by Renaissance readers: a 1491 Venetian incunable of the Commedia with an extensive translation of the poem into Spanish and copious annotations in Spanish and Latin (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Auct. 2Q inf. 1.43); and an early Venetian printed edition of Dante’s lyric poetry (1518) with notes, substantial marks, and underlinings, bound together ab antiquo with a copy of Fernando de Rojas’s Celestina and a vernacularization of Petrarch’s Secretum (London, British Library, C.20.a.13). These books show Dante’s success among Spanish (or hispanophile) readers both as a moral …

Hieronymus Bosch's Dismantled Triptych And The 'Devotio Moderna', Mary E. Tippett
Institute for the Humanities Theses
Flemish painter Jeroen van Aken, better known as Hieronymus Bosch, created a triptych depicting the folly of humanity. This dismantled triptych includes the Ship of Fools, the Allegory of Intemperance, the Death of the Miser, and the Rotterdam Wayfarer, completed between 1500 and 1510. Throughout his career, Bosch explored a peculiar take on the traditional forms of wellknown religious motifs throughout Renaissance Europe by populating his scenes with fantastical creatures and monsters. Scholars have long since suggested that these forms were inspired by illuminated manuscripts. However, scholars provided no explanation as to why these texts drew …
