Sinopse

In this lecture, we consider (a) the giants their acts of transgressing as prefigurations of Lucifer's transgression; (b) we descend to the frozen river Cocytus and meet Bocca who has his name betrayed by another traitorous soul; and (c) we conclude by witnessing the false-sacramental feast of of Count Ugolino (Guelph) on the head of Archbishop Ruggieri (Ghibelline). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
