This collection of essays deals with Dante's relation to the five poets who form Limbo's "bella scola" and to the two, Statius and Terence, who might have been expected to be there.The first essay (by Amilcare A. lannucci, also the editor of the volume) analyzes the scene in Limbo in which Dante becomes "sesto tra cotanto senno."The second (co- authored by Gian Carlo Alessio-Claudia Villa) attempts to determine and describe more exactly the medieval reader's, and therefore Dante's, knowledge of Virgil.The next four articles examine questions about the remaining members of the "bella scola," Homer (Giorgio Brugnoli), Horace (Claudia VUla), Ovid (Michelangelo Picone), and Lucan (Violetta de Angelis).These are followed by a survey of the present state of studies on Dante and Statius (Luca Carlo Rossi) and an essay on Dante's relation to classical comedy and in particular to Terence (Zigmunt G. Baraiiski).Finally, Robert Hollander pre- sents a list of almost 400 echoes and possible echoes of Virgil in the Divine Comedy, as the first stage of a more definitive re-evaluation of Virgil's influence on the poem, to be produced with the help of the Dante Dartmouth Project.
