The De Monarchia of Dante Alighieri (Classic Reprint) by Aurelia Henry Pdf
Excerpt from The De Monarchia of Dante Alighieri The De Monarchia is easily accessible in Latin editions, but an English version is practically unobtainable, at least by the American student of Dante. To be sure, it has twice been done into English, once by Mr. F. J. Church (Macmillan, 1878), and again by Mr. P. H. Wicksteed (Hull, 1896). If the former translation had not been long out of print, and the latter had not been published for private circulation only, the present volume would have less excuse for being. But with the growing interest in Dante, and the increasing number of Dante students in this country, the demand for ready access to all the poets work becomes imperative. It is in response to this demand of the American student of Dante in and out of college that this translation has been undertaken. In the notes which accompany the text the translator has had in mind chiefly the needs and interests of the literary student.
