A new approach to the traditional Lectura Dantis: Dante scholars study selected cantos while also taking into consideration the illustrations of those cantos, thus engaging with illustrations as interpretation, and further considering the Commedia from the perspective of its ekphrastic nature.

First volume in the new book series Fabulae. Narrative in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
