What reading level is The Cryptography of Dante book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The obvious analogies which I have here suggested be- tween the dream of the Pita Nuova and the Divina Corn- media are far, however, from giving a complete interpretation of the dream. Let us examine, therefore, for further light, the provenance of the dramatic situation which the dream in the Vita Nuova presents. This situation, as Scherillo has shown conclusively, is derived from a popular troubador story of a feudal lord who discovers the infidelity of his wife with one of his liegemen (Ital...ian, fedeli; old French, feaux; Provencal fiel). In revenge the lord kills the paramour of his wife, cuts out his heart, and compels his wife to eat it. Dante can hardly be imagined to have been ignorant of this story; indeed, he seems to indicate the troubador provenance of his dream in his reference. Vita Nuova^ iii. 68, to trovatori^ and in his use oi fedeli, line 72, as expressing the relationship of the trovatori to their feudal lord.
Now in appropriating from this gruesome tale of illicit love, jealousy, and murder the situation presented in his dream, Dante can only be understood as portraying Beatrice as a married woman who has been unfaithful to her husband.
