Lecture Series on Dante’s Divine Comedy
Four Tuesdays from 19th January explore ‘the greatest poem of the European Middle Ages’
On four Tuesdays from January 19th Canon Chris Pullin will share his enthusiasm for what has been called ‘the greatest poem of the European Middle Ages’. This 100 canto poem opens our understanding to the theological, moral and spiritual universe in which our own Mappa Mundi sits — but it has much to say to us about life and faith today if we will let it.
The sessions take place in the Hereford Cathedral Library on January 19th, 26th, February 2nd and 9th 2010 at 7.30pm. These four sessions will explore the following;
¨ Introduction & Canto 1
¨ The Inferno
¨ The Purgatorio
¨ The Paradiso
Participants are encouraged to buy ‘The Divine Comedy’ (Oxford World's Classics) by Dante Alighieri to bring to the sessions, and to be able to read for preparation or follow-up.
Hereford Cathedral Library entrance is in Palace Yard, close to the Bishop’s Palace gateway, obliquely opposite Pilgrim’s Progress bookshop. Please use the entry phone.
