The Transfiguration Of History At The Center Of Dante's Paradise (Princeton Legacy Library)

By examining the links between the planet Mars and the cross in the Heaven of the Warriors, Jeffrey Schnapp explores Dante's Christian rewriting of Virgil's Aeneid and Cicero's Republic at the center of the Comedy's, final canticle. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
