NOTES The Divine Comedy. -- The Vita Nuova of Dante closes with these words: After this sonnet there appeared to me a wonderful vision, in which I beheld things that made me propose to say no more of this blessed one, until I shall be able to treat of her more worthily. And to attain thereunto, truly I strive with all my power, as she knoweth.

Moreover, he says the number nine was friendly to her, because the nine heavens were in conjunction at her birth ; and that she was herself the number nine, that is, a miracle whose root is the wonderful Trinity. Following out this idea, we find the Divine Comedy written in terza rima, or threefold rhyme, divided into three parts, and each part again subdivided in its structure into three. The whole number of cantos is one hundred, the perfect number t... Dante Alighieri, Books, History, The Divine Comedy Of Dante Alighiere (volume 1): Inferno Books>History, General Books LLC<
