The World of Dante

This website is interesting to explore. It not only contains a gallery, with illustrations inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, but also maps Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, and music mentioned in Purgatorio and Paradiso. It also includes a timeline that is useful for keeping up with Dr. Clemente's references to the different people Dante refers to. The sections (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) also include the three books in total (Italian on the left, English on the right, as in our books). It also includes additional information on the three books, such as the terms used in each, as well as an interactive map of Hell under the Inferno section. While this information does not go into as much depth as the notes in the back of our books, I find some of it useful in conjunction with our text.
