In this episode we'll look at the main highlights from Dante's Epistle XIII to Lord Can Grande della Scala, his Patron in Verona, to whom Dante dedicates the Third Canticle of the Divine Comedy, the Paradiso.

We'll also look at Dante's expressed practial purpose and overall meaning of the Divine Comedy, and the four established levels of interpretation in the Medieval and Ancient Traditions:
Literal, Allegorical, Moral and Anagogical.
