The author isolates the two fundamental themes of the Canto (St. Dominic’s eulogy and the presentation of the wise spirits from the second garland), later expanding the analysis to the entire Sphere of the Sun. The objective is to define the cultural and artistic peculiarity of the poem within the context of the late Middle Ages and, at the same time, to grasp the specificity of Dante’s epistemological position as he approaches the conclusive part of his other-worldly voyage.
