Works Cited
Abbreviations for books of the bible are conventional; biblical quotations are from the Douay-Rheims version, sometimes modified, but biblical names follow the more familiar King James spellings. Commentaries on the Comedy, including notes to translations, are cited ad loc. References to the early commentators Benvenuto, Boccaccio, Lana and the Anonimo are taken from the Enciclopedia Dantesca and the Dartmouth Dante Database. (References to Boccaccio in the notes are to his commentary unless the Decameron is cited.) When the works cited are foreign- or dual-language texts, translations in the notes are mine. Where translations and/or reprints are cited, the date of original publication appears in brackets when feasible.
