Books to Read Before Dante’s Divine Comedy |
|
This year marks the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death. There’s no better time to read the Divine Comedy than now! But Dante does love a good reference so you might want to check out some of his favorite books as well.
Books I mentioned: The Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Psalms, Song of Solomon, and I intended to include Isaiah as well) Vita Nuova by Dante Aeneid by Virgil The Odyssey by Homer The Odes by Horace Civil War by Lucan The Metamorphoses by Ovid Confessions by St. Augustine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius The Writings of St. Thomas Aquinas Social Media: Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/drowninginhistory Bookstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drowninginhistory_ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennyfromtheblock1292 Twitter: https://twitter.com/drowninghistory |
