What reading level is The Time References in the Divina Commedia And Their Bearing On the Assumed Dat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here again however I think it is more probable that Dante adopts the sense in which ordinary people would be most likely to understand his words, just as we popularly refer to the indications of the compass as it stands, without allowing for the magnetic varia- tion, though we are quite aware that it amounts in England to a no less serious difference than about 23 degrees. If this be the way to interpret the passage, the Sun being now rather backward in Aries, the time when Taurus is on the Mer...idian of Noon, and the opposite sign of Scorpio on that of midnight as here described, would be generally un- derstood to be about 2 p. M. Though, as each constella- tion covers many degrees of space, the indication is only an approximate one.
XXVI. 4-6. In xxiv. 4-6 they are on the 7th and last Cornice, where Lust is punished, and the time is apparently about 4 or 5 p. M. , since the Sun is getting low in the west. This is indicated by two circum- stances, (1) the blue of the western sky is turned pale by his light ; and (2) his rays strike them on the shoulder, which indicates a low altitude.
