ILTweb: Digital Dante: Dante-related Resources on the Net
A website provided by Columbia University's Institute for Learning Technologies (ILTweb), it "integrates . . . multimedia, as well as hyperlinked text commentary and other materials, into the reading of the Commedia in an innovative way -- a way not previously possible in non-digital media. The Digital Dante Project is essentially a twenty-first-century illumination -- one that intends to take advantage of the existing technical possibilities of our contemporary culture to create a viewpoint -- a twenty-first-century dantisti viewpoint--of contemporary and historical culture, much like Dante's original work was (in addition to allegory) a thirteenth-century viewpoint of then contemporary and historical culture."
Otfried Lieberknecht's Homepage for Dante Studies
A clearing house of both library and online resources by a leading scholar of Dante studies.
An online Service for Dante scholars provided by the Dante Society Of America, this website includes a link to the American Dante Bibliography, an annotated bibliography of Dante studies from 1953-1995.
Contains over 50 commentaries on The Divine Comedy, beginning with that of Dante's son, Jacopo Alighieri, and including the commentaries by Boccaccio, Longfellow and Singleton. You can search by book (cantica), canto, and line numbers and limit the responses according to the language of the commentaries (e.g., English, Latin, Italian). For example, if you want commentaries in English on the allegory of the three beasts in Canto I of Inferno, you would type
"cantica inferno and canto 1 and line 31 and language english"
in the search window. If you set "Display records in" to "Commentary," the texts of the
commentaries will come up automatically. Note that it is no longer possible to search for a range
of line numbers (e.g., 31-54 for all three beasts), but if you give the first line of a passage, the
database will usually return commentary on the entire passage.
A collection of links to websites with guidelines for citing material from the World Wide Web, CD-ROMs and other electronic sources. The emphasis is on MLA format, but there is information for APA, Chicago, and Turabian, as well.
