Klappentext zu „Dante and the Empire “
Dante and the Empire focuses on Dante's concept of a world-state and explores the sources for his novel interpretation of human civilization and destiny. It offers a new look at controversial passages in the Monarchia and a fresh comparison of these with important verses in the Divine Comedy which reflect Dante's political experience. Consistency between the poem and the treatise on monarchy is emphasized while traditional readings of the influences of Aristotle, Augustan Rome, Averroes, and Aquinas are reevaluated. Mancusi-Ungaro also addresses philological problems, namely three cases of textual ambiguity in the Monarchia which contribute to Dante's originality and an understanding of his use of philosophical allegory.

Pressezitat
"... Mancusi-Ungaro has a refreshing willingness to take risks, to query on occasion Dante's syllogistic skills, and to suggest that sometimes he is misunderstanding his sources and sometimes intentionally misusing them." (Ch.T.Davis, Speculum)
