Description

Title Page

The terrible singer of the Three Kingdoms sits at a throne where the pedestal reads that mysterious apostrophe. But, we want to say at once, analyze each mystery if you look good in that little rod that opens the door of Dite, and these sententious words-What advantage in the fairy given through a horn hit? - Pronounced solemnly made from the sky. But we did not make it slows us in a comment. We will stop in looking at that big crown with laurel and fixed eyes to the sky is in this attitude: having written the last words of his book, the pen has gone away almost automatically, while with the spirit engrossed in a ray of divine wisdom, however, basks in contemplation.
The love that makes new the sun and the other stars
Here is what is added when the attention is stopped on who looks at the monument that the knight Francesco Tosi Maria consecrated to Dante Alighieri on the title of this collection.
As this happens because the monument itself, with defects richness of the ornaments, which instead all parties subscribing , but because these are available for a rational rays converge at all since the center , who willed to recognize in the main: Topic . In fact, you are descended from this and to examine its parts, and first among them stand where they are collected into three compartments of equal number symbolizing the three realms of the divine comedy. View in from the right Charon the demon and the evil seed of Adam to go on the wave brunette Acheron, in the middle of the mystical chariot drawn by the mystic hill griffin seven dancers around, the four feathered animals, and two old dress odd but seems in place, and finally the old man alone be sleeping with his face witty. And among these allegories of the holy virtues, the evangelists, the New and Old Testament, go to wonderful hymned and the ledge of divine things, theology, figuration Beatrice. Finally, in what is missing from you are presented to the eye.
The high triumph of the Cerace Kingdom
The topics covered so open and again before the divine volume, in order to return you to contemplate him who and teacher of color who can lift up with one at home and himself a sublime monument of glory. It alerts you to stay right on the head with them, that if this was the big prize of knowing, ever more worthy stop for front and girded himself. He and only after having seen and thought everything that catered granted carry the eye around the other parts of the work, and to consider the four pillars of beautiful chandeliers of various flowers and foliage flanking the niche where sits the poet and with the very capitals rise to support the architrave frieze and cornice . And over this, trying to finish the monument with a semi-circular shape that lots of drawers made of foliage and poetic, in whose midst was fierce and the bezel is engraved in a pitiful tragedy of Ugolino; precisely what the haggard face revealing of the sons to the father unhappy of the horrible reality of his situation, whose biting his hands from the pain. Poor children whose prime of life was stripped before the eyes of his father’s last moments with despairing barbarism! Poor father whose name, in which you summarize all the dearest pleasures of nature, was hit with the most acute tip while his heart bled! Oh a painting of a crime so horrendous that makes people bow to his words just as he who gives one shudder to human nature, it squeezes out from the edge of the tears of pity, for which we feel how beautiful that sublimed daughter of God truly is.
