ITA1202H: Dante as a Reader of Augustine's City of God: Augustinian Textual Communities at the Beginning of the 14th Century

This course will examine and discuss the presence of Augustine's De civitate Dei in Dante's works, both Latin (in English or Italian translation) and Italian (original texts), with a particular attention devoted to Dante's political and anthropological thought. The De civitate Dei is a major point of reference for Western Medieval Culture but, for a number of reasons, it has been neglected so far as one of Dante's sources.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
