Judge Out Of Books Paradiso (La Divina Commedia #3)

There is a lot of light and philosophy in Paradiso. The dialogue certainly begs a re-read, and gave me a lot to think about language. Even in translation, Dante's stylistic and linguistic choices have changed dramatically through this journey, the art in the language is beautiful.*The Mandelbaum translation is very readable.

I have already read the whole divine comedy but this book was on my shelf and I am not disappointed in Dante. Not one bit.

Some concluding statements. I began reading Paradiso believing it was the weakest of the three canticas of Inferno, Pugatorio, and Paradiso. Such a notion was implanted from what I can only say are biased academics. Paradiso does not have the fanciful torments of Inferno. It does not have the bodily tensions of Purgatorio. But Paradiso is special. Perhaps it is the most theological of the three canticasand that is why I think that academic biased developed. But the theology is dramatized in

There are some 1200 entries in Sinclairs index at the end of "Paradiso" to names of places and people to the entire "Divine Comedy". The Comedy is a liberal arts encyclopedia of the Medieval mind.This edition has the original text with facing page translation. The footnotes and translator's notes after each canto are very helpful. This text is recommended by Yale University for it's Dante course that is available on line free.
