1. A couple months ago I asked whether or not anything had superseded Moore's census of Dante's references to Virgil. A few weeks ago Otfried pointed me to the following, which I pass on to you: Hollander, Robert. "Le opere di Virgilio nella Commedia di Dante." Dante e la "bella scola" della poesia: Autorita\ e sfida poetica. Ed. Amilcare A. Iannucci. Ravenna: Longo, 1993. 247-343. It doesn't include Dante's earlier works (which Moore's census did), but it more than doubles the number of items in previous lists. 2. While I am on the subject of Dante, I am wondering if there is any scholarly consensus on Dante's knowledge of John of Salisbury's Policraticus. (I've checked several eds. of De monarchia, and don't find his name in the indices there.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- David Wilson-Okamura http://www.virgil.org [log in to unmask] University of Chicago Online Virgil discussion, bibliography & links ----------------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
