Biblioteca dell'?Archivum Romanicum? - Serie I: Storia, Letteratura, Paleografia Primo studio organico sulle operazioni angeliche nella Commedia, questo libro colloca l?angelologia dantesca nel dibattito teologico e filosofico del XIII secolo sulla natura e funzioni delle sostanze separate. Evidenziando l?originale fusione di tradizioni classiche e patristiche nel disegno provvidenziale del poema, argomenta la centralit? degli angeli nel sistema etico-cosmologico del poema e nella sua strategia narrativa, aprendo nuove prospettive interpretative di figure come il ?messo celeste; gli angeli purgatoriali; Beatrice. As the first organic study on angelic operations in the Divine Comedy, this book puts Dante?s angelology within the XIII century theological and philosophical debate on the nature and functions of separate substances. Highlighting the original fusion of classical and patristic traditions within the providential outline of the poem, it argues the centrality of angels in the Comedy?s ethical-cosmological system and narrative strategy, opening new interpretations of figures such as the ?Heavenly Messenger?; the Purgatory angels; and Beatrice.
