Featured Term (selected at random):
The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). It is an allegory of life; a vision of the world of hereafter. One hundred cantos in length, it reflects the faith of Medieval Catholic Europe and is considered one of the greatest classics of Christian literature. Composed in the vernacular the poet hoped to convert an erring world back to righteousness. The philosophy of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-74), the mysticism of Saints Bernard (1090-1153) and Augustine (354-430) and the theology of the early Fathers are synthesized in exquisite language. The first printing of this classic was in 1472 in Italy.
Has it been adapted to music?
I hope so.

Only the best poem in the entire universe is all. It's actually worth learning a little Italian just so's you can savor the good parts.
I'm serious. This is a WONDERFUL poem. Dante is as much to blame for my becoming Catholic as any one human being.
