The Banquet (Il Convito)

Name: The Banquet (Il Convito)
Author: Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri

Dante’s Convivio in the English of Elizabeth Price Sayer (1887), as The Banquet (Il Convito): four treatises, with the canzoni in verse. Sayer’s chapters do not follow the Italian chapter for chapter (treatise II has 16, against 15 in the Italian text), so this is a separate book of the same work as the Italian Convivio. The translator’s preface and her note on the date of the Convito are not imported.

Source: Four treatises with the canzoni (as separate chapters) and 74 chapters. The preface, the table of contents and the note on the date of the work are dropped. Wicksteed’s Temple Classics version (1903) is OCR only and not imported.
