Book Description
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was the author of the famous Divine Comedy. Less well known today, however, are Dante's lyric poems and treatises. His lyric production comprised more than 120 poems in diverse forms (canzoni and sestine, sonnets, and ballads, written between around 1283 and 1315). He gathered 31 of his poems in his Vita Nuova (The New Life, early 1290s) and then commented on three of his canzoni in the unfinished Convivio (The Banquet, ca. 1304-1305). These works represent the first, fundamental stage of his literary career. Not only these 'minor' works made Dante well-known as a vernacular poet before he began writing the Commedia, but for two centuries they were also among the most read works in Italian literature. The rich holdings of Oxford libraries allow us to reconstruct the main channels through which Dante's lyric production has circulated from the fourteenth century to the contemporary era. The wide variety of books in the collections belonged to a diverse set of readers throughout the whole of Europe. In Oxford we can find preserved not only unique objects, but also the legacies of scholars such as Edward Moore and Paget Toynbee who studied Dante and gathered precious manuscripts and early printed editions. The digital exhibition Dante's Lyric Poetry in Oxford (https: //www.cabinet.ox.ac.uk/dantes-lyric-poetry-oxford), prepared by Laura Banella within the MSCA project LyrA - Lyric Authority: Editing and Rewriting Dante's Lyric Poetry (14th-16th c.), shows the 'other Dante' - the vernacular Dante outside of the Commedia - as portrayed by manuscripts, and early modern and contemporary editions preserved in Oxford. It presents to a broad public all the manuscripts (from the 14th to the 16th century) and the early printed editions (1491-1727) preserved at the Bodleian Library and at the Taylor Institution Library which contain Dante's lyric poems. A third section, dedicated to the editions of Dante's lyric poetry spanning the period from the 1820s to the 1930s, is but a selection of works from the Taylor Institution Library's vast collection of modern Dantean editions. What is more, the exhibition displays books owned by Oxonian scholars, along with materials testifying to their work as curators of Dante's oeuvre. This catalogue accompanying the exhibition collects the entries describing each manuscript and each printed edition, along with a presentation of the selection of modern editions. Each section of the catalogue is introduced by a short educational essay.

Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Dante contains forty-four specially written chapters that provide a thorough and creative reading of Dante's oeuvre. It gathers an intergenerational and international team of scholars encompassing diverse approaches from the fields of Anglo-American, Italian, and continental scholarship and spanning several disciplines: philology, material culture, history, religion, art history, visual studies, theory from the classical to the contemporary, queer, post- and de-colonial, and feminist studies. The volume combines a rigorous reassessment of Dante's formation, themes, and sources, with a theoretically up-to-date focus on textuality, thereby offering a new critical Dante. The volume is divided into seven sections: 'Texts and Textuality'; 'Dialogues'; 'Transforming Knowledge'; Space(s) and Places'; 'A Passionate Selfhood'; 'A Non-linear Dante'; and 'Nachleben'. It seeks to challenge the Commedia-centric approach (the conviction that notwithstanding its many contradictions, Dante's works move towards the great reservoir of poetry and ideas that is the Commedia), in order to bring to light a non-teleological way in which these works relate amongst themselves. Plurality and the openness of interpretation appear as Dante's very mark, coexisting with the attempt to create an all-encompassing mastership. The Handbook suggests what is exciting about Dante now and indicate where Dante scholarship is going, or can go, in a global context.

Book Description
By systematically analyzing Dante's attitudes toward the poets who appear throughout his texts, Teodolinda Barolini examines his beliefs about the limits and purposes of textuality and, most crucially, the relationship of textuality to truth. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Book Description
The Latin poet Ovid continues to fascinate readers today. In Italian Readers of Ovid from the Origins to Petrarch, Julie Van Peteghem examines what drew medieval Italian writers to the Latin poet’s works, characters, and themes. While accounts of Ovid’s influence in Italy often start with Dante’s Divine Comedy, this book shows that mentions of Ovid are found in some of the earliest poems written in Italian, and remain a constant feature of Italian poetry over time. By situating the poetry of the Sicilians, Dante, Cino da Pistoia, and Petrarch within the rich and diverse history of reading, translating, and adapting Ovid’s works, Van Peteghem offers a novel account of the reception of Ovid in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy.

Book Description
The first comprehensive English translation and commentary on Dante's early verse to be published in almost fifty years, Dante's Lyric Poetry includes all the poems written by the young Dante Aligheri between c. 1283 and c. 1292. Essays by Teodolinda Barolini guide the reader through the new verse translations by Richard Lansing, illuminating Dante's transformation from a young courtly poet into the writer of the vast and visionary Commedia. Barolini's commentary exposes Dante's lyric poems as early articulations of many of the ideas in the Commedia, including the philosophy and psychology of desire and its role as motor of all human activity, the quest for vision and transcendence, the frustrating search for justice on earth, and the transgression of boundaries in society and poetry. A wide-ranging and intelligent examination of one of the most important poets in the Western tradition, this book will be of interest to scholars and poetry-lovers alike.
