Légende

'Then seizing on his hinder scalp, I cried: "Name thee, or not a hair shall tarry here"', c1890. Dante and the Roman poet Virgil walk on a frozen lake, where sinners guilty of treachery are trapped in the ice. Dante threatens to pull out the hair of Bocca degli Abati, a Florentine Guelph. Illustration from "The Vision of Hell" (Inferno), the first part of "The Divine Comedy" (La divina commedia) by Dante Alighieri. This long, narrative poem, written in Italian c1308-1321, tracing Dante's imaginary journey from Hell, through Purgatory and finally to Heaven and a beatific vision of God, has been published numerous times. This edition, published late 19th century, is illustrated by Gustave Dore. [Cassell Petter & Galpin, c1890]
