These allegorical love poems and philosophical verse become the basis for philosophical, literary, moral, and political exposition. The prose is written in Italian so that those who were not educated in Latin could take part in what Dante called his 'banquet of knowledge'. In this edition, eminent Dante translator-scholar Andrew Frisardi offers the first fully annotated translation of the work into English, with an extensive introduction, making Dante's often complex writings accessible to scholars and students. The parallel Italian text is also included for the first time in an English translation of the Convivio. Readers of this work can gain a strong understanding of the philosophical themes across Dante's work, including the Divine Comedy, as well as the logic, politics and science of his time.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTranslator's preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: the Convivio: a portrait\u003cbr\u003e Dante and Lady Philosophia-Sapientia\u003cbr\u003e Dante's quest for knowledge\u003cbr\u003e Dante and nobility\u003cbr\u003e Convivio: Book I\u003cbr\u003e Book II\u003cbr\u003e Book III\u003cbr\u003e Book IV\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: prose translations of the 'Three Canzoni'\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary reference works [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary reference works\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20reference%20works%20%5BDSR%5D%22\"\u003eDSR\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: poetry \u0026amp; poets\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20poetry%20\u0026amp;%20poets%20%5BDSC%5D%22\"\u003eDSC\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20classical,%20early%20\u0026amp;%20medieval%20%5BDSBB%5D%22\"\u003eDSBB\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary essays [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary essays\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20essays%20%5BDNF%5D%22\"\u003eDNF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001459855640,"sku":"9781316505021","price":30.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781316505021i.jpg?v=1696681403","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dante-convivio-a-dual-language-critical-edition-paperback-9781316505021","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
