The Infinite Beauty of the World: Dante's Encyclopedia and the Names of God

by Jason M. Baxter

This book proposes a radically new interpretation of the Divine Comedy's encyclopedism by focusing on Dante's work in light of the medieval imago mundi tradition. By bringing attention to Latin Platonism and twelfth-century authors, the work provides compelling new readings and provocative insights into key figures (e.g. Ulysses).
