About the Interlinear

Read Dante in his own words

Joe Carlson’s translation began as a word-for-word interlinear made to know Dante better in the original, became a readable English version, and finally a poem of its own. Here is that first step, for every line of the poem.

The complete interlinear is included as a PDF with the Teacher’s Edition and the Complete Curriculum.
