Author Description

Volume 5. Paradise: Italian Text with Verse Translation Volume 6. Paradise: Notes and Commentary Mark Musa's vivid two-volume verse translation of and commentary on the Paradiso completes Indiana's six-volume edition of the Divine Comedy. Musa has revised his earlier version, long cited as the most accessible and reliable of the English translations. The first volume presents his translation and the Italian text on facing pages; the second volume comprises his lifetime study of the Paradiso, in which Musa examines and discusses the critical commentary of other Dante scholars and presents his own ideas and interpretations.
