Originally appearing in the Enciclopedia Italiana in 1931 and later expanded into a book in 1933, Barbi's biography is celebrated for its synthesis of early Dante commentators and modern research. A preeminent Dante scholar, Barbi dedicated his career to Italian philology, serving as editor of Dante's works and founder of the journal Studi Danteschi. His meticulous studies of Vita Nuova, Canzoniere, and Divina Commedia make this biography an unparalleled resource for understanding Dante's literary genius, as well as his political, theological, and historical contexts. Barbi’s biography does more than recount Dante’s life; it illuminates the poet’s complex personality and universal appeal, echoing T.S. Eliot's view of Dante as "the most universal of poets in the modern languages." This translation brings Barbi’s work to English-speaking readers, preserving his rigorous scholarship and deep empathy for his subject. By intertwining Dante's personal journey with his literary works, such as the Convivio and the Epistles, Barbi reveals a vivid portrait of a man whose life mirrored his art. For those seeking a comprehensive yet accessible examination of Dante’s life and achievements, Barbi’s work remains an invaluable guide.

  1. I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.

  2. Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.

  3. The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
