This collection of essays applies the expression to Dante himself in order to emphasize the satirical elements of his works. Although Dante is not typically described as a satirist, anyone familiar with his works will recognize the strong satirical element in his many writings. By exploring the satiric elements in Dante’s literature, these essays explore the primary literary tool at his disposal for his prophetic objectives: the castigation of vice. This collection of essay is the first comprehensive study on Dante and satire within his entire corpus that has ever been published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Dante Satiro - Fabian Alfie and Nicolino Applauso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Satire in Dante’s Commedia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: The Ontoso Metro of Dante’s Sinners: Inferno 7 - Franco Suitner \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Inverted Popes, the Apostolic Succession, and Dante’s Vocation as Satirist - Ronald L.
