| Summary |
"La Divina Comèdia: Purgatòri" by Dante Alighieri is a poetic epic written in the 14th century. This work is part of a much larger narrative exploring themes of sin, redemption, and the human soul's journey towards enlightenment. The protagonist, Dante himself, embarks on a journey through the realms of Purgatory guided by the Roman poet Virgil, facing souls who are purging their sins in a quest for salvation. At the start of "Purgatòri," the reader is introduced to Dante's sentimental reflections on his childhood language, Friulian, and the motivations behind translating this significant literary masterpiece into that language. The translator's notes set the stage for exploring the nuances of Friulian in relation to Dante's work, explaining the cultural and linguistic significance of maintaining such traditions. This opening hints at the confluence of personal and universal themes, highlighting a desire to preserve language and identity while traversing the deeper meanings present within Dante's visionary landscape.
