Richard of St. Victor is connected to the theory of the excessus mentis and to the representation of God. The volume studies his presence in the Commedia, focusing on his contribution to central themes such as the role of imagination in poetic creation or the relationship between emotions and free will. Thus emerges the importance of Richard’s method of visual exegesis for the interpretation of the Commedia as a great theatrum memoriae.
