1867 Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, PARADISO, 1st Edition, Longfellow
The Divine Comedy Paradiso, 1st edition translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
After an initial ascension, Beatrice guides Dante through the nine celestial spheres of Heaven. These are concentric and spherical, as in Aristotelian and Ptolemaic cosmology.
While the structures of the Inferno and Purgatorio were based on different classifications of sin, the structure of the Paradiso is based on the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues
The Divine Comedy is a long Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321.
It is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.
