TOP EDITION Edizioni San Paolo intend to join the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Dante's death (born in Florence, around May and June 1265 - who died in Ravenna, on the night between 13 and 14 September 1321) with this prestigious edition of Divina Commedia, his best known and admired work, in Italy and in the world. Dante left literature and humanity an incomparable patrimony of art and knowledge, of history and faith, of civil and moral commitment, of passion and courage. In fact, those who read the Divine Comedy make their own journey with Dante, accompanying him on the journey from darkness to light . Light is the goal to which the poet's soul tends with all its strength and it is this hope of being able to reach it that pushes him on his hard path. The lofty and sublimity of Dante in the Divine Comedy is to have arrived at the "truth that so sublimes us" (Par. XXII, 42) universally embracing - as Paul VI wrote in his apostolic letter Altissimi cantus (7 December 1965) - " heaven and earth, eternity and time, the mysteries of God and the vicissitudes of men, sacred doctrine and profane disciplines ”. Combining poetic art and theological wisdom, poet of theologians and theologian of poets, Dante was for Paul VI the "lord of the highest song" , elevating his poetry to such a high degree of beauty and perfection that it can be defined divinely inspired. So is Dante also for us, the great poet of the human and the divine. In paying homage to him with this edition, we intend to honor art and faith.For this we have relied on the suggestive color illustrations by Nino and Silvio Gregori who recreate characters, places and atmospheres, with an unmistakable artistic stamp. Led illustrations have a great pictorial and scenic rendering, capable of skilfully interpreting the most important and intense moments and gestures of the various songs, giving the scenes beauty, color and life. In his commentary on the text Giuliano Vigini offered a critical synthesis, both exegetical and biblical-spiritual, capable of penetrating, with a simple and clear language, into the heart of poetry, of the Christian faith and of Dante's universal message. Finally, the general index of the words of the Divine Comedy, edited by Lara Piffari, Vincenzo Santarcangelo and Giuliano Vigini, is another precious research and consultation tool that enriches this edition.
