translation Philalethes

Umberto Eco said in the "Postscript" is written to its middle age novel "The Name of the Rose" that a novel is a machine for generating interpretations was.
Which view of reception aesthetics behind this pithy sentence is, should not be discussed further, however: the Divine Comedy is one of the most striking Beweisefür his consistency. Shortly after the turn of the
14th Century as the "Commedia" ("piece with a happy ending," has nothing to do with our idea of a "funny" stage play) written, it raised a few decades later, Giovanni Boccaccio, the "divina", that is divine, because unsurpassable. And they did. Hardly any work is commented on frequently, translated, states have been interpreted as Dante's already in the end of the Middle Ages to modernity usher in "Divine Comedy".

The leaves are characterized not by the motives of the epic ', but are formed by the same deep structure, layer by layer - like the master at work creating the text and the "Results" represent a par with the text.
interpret precisely, not to illustrate.
