As one who has regularly led seminarians on Dante' s pilgrimage for over twenty-five years, the adjectives that kept recurring as I read Dante' s Testaments were: erudite, engrossing, and elegant." -- Anglican Theological Review " This is a book written from deep love of Dante and an equally deep learning. . . . A beautifully written book, accessible to the general reader, but fascinating and insightful for the scholar, both literary and theological." -- Theological Book Review |

| Publisher Description: This book explores the wide range of Dante's reading and the extent to which he transformed what he read, whether in the biblical canon, in the ancient Latin poets, in such Christian authorities as Augustine or Benedict, or in the "book of the world"-the globe traversed by pilgrims and navigators. |
