Božanstvena komedija
An epic poem written by Dante between 1304 and 1321, his most famous work. It is considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great literary work of the Middle Ages and the first great work that foreshadows the Renaissance.
The Divine Comedy consists of three parts, Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio) and Paradise (Paradiso), which respectively have 34 (introductory canto and another 33 cantos), 33 and 33 cantos, and a total of over 14,000 lines. The first part of the comedy, Inferno, is the most famous and is often published separately under the title "Dante's Inferno". The number 3 as a symbol is extremely important in this work - the length of the work (33 cantos each), the stanza in which the canto is written is a tercina, three beasts attack Dante in the opening canto, and the number three is also a symbol of the Holy Trinity. An important role is also played by the number 100, which was considered the perfect number (introductory chant and three parts of 33 chants each).
