…e par che sia una cosa venuta da cielo in terra
Laud is the theme of Settembre dantesco thematic tour. This tour will accompany us from San Francesco to Dante, from Jacopone da Todi to the Sicilian school, revealing how these authors considered and interpreted the laud in their works, assigning to it both the sacred dimension and the profane.
From 12 to 28 of September browsing through the Library shelves you can find a selection of books on this topic. You can also consult the bibliography on the online catalogue and access to digital resources through Almastart.
The title of this initiative is taken from Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare, a sonnet by Dante Alighieri from Vita Nova.
The theme is related to the conference organized by the Centro Dantesco of Ravenna, “Poesia e teologia della lode in Dante e nella cultura medievale”, November 8th 2025.
