I've been fascinated by Dante since I was a teenager, but I treat the <em>Comedy</em> more like a hot tub. I dip into it from time to time. I've recently been interested in the church's liturgical aid to sanctification and since Dante borrows and uses that, I went in again. I never noticed that about <em>Purgatory</em> until reading Leithart (an author whose books I really enjoy). While trying to dig a bit deeper in that theme I started reading Moore's book. He ties the passages back very closely to the church Offices and shows from what part of the liturgy they come. Ali, no, I’ve not read all of The Divine Comedy.

Have you read all these sudies you are quoting? I will be most impressed if you have! I read The Inferno (most tediously) in AP English about 20 years ago, but I recently bought Ciardi's translation of the Divine Comedy because I want to read the whole thing. I love how Vergil leads him in his journey of Hell. I also bought Lewis's The Discarded Image to read through before I start with teh Divine Comedy. I know my comment doesn;t have much to do with prayer, but I was just curious. Okay so I have to ask: Have you read the entire Divine Comedy? Have you read all these sudies you are quoting?
