Description
This article examines the extensive use of natural philosophy and scientific doctrine in Cristoforo Landino's Dante commentary, the Comento sopra la Comedia di Danthe Alighieri of 1481. The essay's aim is threefold: to assess Landino's indebtedness to the Trecento Dante commentary tradition; to examine closely those scientific glosses where Landino makes new interventions, expanding, or updating the earlier tradition; and to explore the extent to which such glosses may be shaped by a Quattrocento Florentine context, which witnessed a renewed engagement with certain scientific disciplines. The article also provides a running commentary upon the purposes of Landino's scientific glosses and considers whether Landino sees scientific ideas in the Commedia from a different perspective to that of Dante himself. **********
