Combining both prose and verse, this "little book" traces Dante's love for Beatrice from their first meeting at age nine through her death and beyond. Through commentaries on twenty-five sonnets and several other poems, Dante transforms courtly love into something sacred, marking a turning point in European poetry by writing in Italian rather than Latin and drawing on personal experience.
