Abstract: Recensioniof interpreting the three yz^r^-as a parody of the Trinity and concomitandy as representative of heresy.Finally, in the third essay "L'altro stilnovo: ammonizioni e invettive nella Commedia Fasani considers the various forms of admonition and invective found throughout the three canticles and proposes that their use in the Commedia offers an alternative to the "Sweet New Style" of Dante's early literary forays.All three of these essays offer new insights in traditional issues in Dante studies and by themselves would justify the book's publication.This is not to say that the metrical essays are without value, not at all.Rather, given the clear evi- dence of Fasani's unique perspective on the exegerical issues, it seems obvious that had the author completed the thoughts alluded to in the closing paragraphs in those articles, Dante scholarship would have been so much the richer.
