This is not Dante’s text, nor a translation. It’s a very well done lecture on Inferno through the lens of Catholicism, which is the correct lens to view it from as it is the lens through which Dante wrote it. This acts as an excellent companion for Inferno. It breaks down the symbolism, the characters, the Italian politics, the pagan and Christian themes all sown throughout the poem. The cantos are read with great knowledge and gusto from the lecturer.
