Dante Alighieri, Books, History, Dante Volume 1: The Inferno. This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845 edition.

What you have told me of my days to come I treasure up, to be explain'd by Her, If e'er I reach Her, who will know my doom. But upon these my words of truth rely;--If in my breast no secret stings I feel, Let Fortune do her worst--prepared am I: Not new to me this prophecy of woe: Then at her will let Fortune turn her wheel, As turns the peasant his accustom'd hoe. Now to the right my master bent with speed, And on mine ear his warning accents fell: He listens to good purpose who takes heed. Not that I ceased discoursing as I went With Ser Brunetto, asking him to tell Who of his comrades were most eminent. The histories of some I may relate; Others, he said, 'twere better not to name; Time would be wanting for a theme so great. Know briefly--all were priests, and in their time Great Literati, not unknown to fame, On earth polluted with the self-same crime. Priscian proceeds with that accursed crew, 109...
