Attraverso la frode: la Commedia come conquista della verità della parola

Abstract

This article analyzes the structural relationship between falsehood and truth within Dante’s Comedy. The centrality of this relationship is also numerical: it recurs in all three parts of the work, and in each one of them it occupies the central section, with the ostensible purpose of placing Dante’s poetic voice at the very heart of everything, as a harbinger of truth.
