PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 This Record is the outcome of notes taken during the last 
 five-and-twenty years, primarily for the purposes of several 
 projected works, of which the following have been published : 
 Chronological List of English Translations from Dante, from 
 Chaucer to the Present Day (Boston, U.S.A., 1906); Dante in 
 English Literature from Chaucer to Cary (2 vols., London, 1909) ; 
 and Dante in English Art : A Chronological Record of Representa- 
 tions by English Artists of Subjects from the Works of Dante, or 
 connected with Dante (Boston, U.S.A., 1920) ; besides sundry 
 articles in various English and foreign periodicals. In the 
 preparation of the first two of the above works I availed myself 
 of the admirable Catalogue of the Cornell Dante Collection (2 vols., 
 Ithaca, N.Y., 1898-1900), compiled for the late Professor 
 Willard Fiske by Mr. T. W. Koch ; and, to a limited extent, of 
 the work on Dante and the English Poets from Chaucer to 
 Tennyson (New York, 1904) by Professor Oscar Kuhns. My 
 obligations to these volumes are hereby once again acknow- 
 ledged. For information and references supplementary to 
 my own resources I have to thank numerous friends and 
 correspondents, among whom should be mentioned Professor 
 H. Littledale, of Cardiff, Professor A. Farinelli, of Turin (in 
 a lengthy review of Dante in English Literature in the Bullet- 
 tino della Societd Dantesca Italiana), Mr. F. G. Stokes, and 
 Mr. H. St. J. Brooks. 
 
 Certain of the entries in the Record may perhaps be regarded 
 as trivial ; but, as I had occasion to observe in a similar con- 
 nexion in the preface to my Dante in English Literature, such 
 items — trivial though they be — have a value of their own, as 
 indications of the trend of current opinion with regard to 
 Dante — a straw will show which way the wind blows. 
 
 English reviews of foreign works upon Dante have as a rule 
 been included, but for reasons of space not reviews of English 
 
vi PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 works, except in the case of the Quarterlies, the articles in which 
 for the most part partake rather of the nature of essays than 
 of reviews proper, and constitute important contributions to 
 Dantesque hterature. Partly also from considerations of space, 
 after the year 1844, the year of Gary's death, and of the publi- 
 cation of the first cheap edition of his translation, by which 
 time the name of Dante had become more or less of a household 
 word with Englishmen, only works or articles dealing directly 
 with Dante are registered, incidental allusions or quotations, 
 save in cases of exceptional interest, being disregarded. 
 
 A table of leading dates is prefixed to the Record, and an 
 index in two divisions, of authors and artists, is appended. The 
 addition of a few statistics may not be out of place here. Of 
 complete English (exclusive of American ^) translations of the 
 Commedia there are twenty-six (the earliest, in 6-line stanzas, 
 by Henry Boyd, 1802). Of independent translations of the 
 Inferno there are twenty-one (the earliest, in blank verse, by 
 Charles Rogers, 1782) ; of the Purgatorio there are eight (the 
 earliest, in prose, by W. S. Dugdale, 1883) ; of the Paradiso 
 five (the earliest, in prose, by James MacGregor, 1880, as yet 
 unpublished ; the earliest published independent translation is 
 that, also in prose, by P. H. Wicksteed, 1899). This gives a 
 total of forty-seven translations of the Inferno, thirty-four of 
 the Purgatorio, and thirty-one of the Paradiso. From these 
 figures it appears that during the last 118 years (dating from 
 Boyd's translation in 1802) the Commedia as a whole has been 
 translated into English on an average once in about every four 
 years. If the independent translations of the several divisions 
 of the poem be included in the reckoning it will be found that 
 an English translation of one or other of the three cantiche has 
 been produced on an average once in about every twelve months 
 — a record which, it is believed, cannot be paralleled in the 
 literature of any other country. 
 
 Of the 'Ugolino' episode (from Inf. xxxiii), as a separate piece, 
 there are twenty-seven translations (the earliest, in 8-line 
 
 * In the absence of any means of distinguishing them, it is possible that a few 
 American writers and artists have inadvertently been included in the Record. 
 
PREFATORY NOTE vii 
 
 stanzas, by Chaucer, c. 1386); of the 'Paolo and Franeesca' 
 {Inf. v), twenty-two (the eariiest, in heroic couplets, by William 
 Parsons, 1785) ; of the ' Ulysses ' {Inf. xxvi), five (the earliest, 
 in prose, by Leigh Hunt, 1819). 
 
 Dante's minor works, as might be expected, have attracted 
 a comparatively small number of translators. Of the Vita Nuova 
 there are seven English versions (the earliest by Joseph Garrow, 
 published at Florence in 1840) ; of the Convivio, five (the earliest 
 by Elizabeth P. Sayer, 1887) ; of the Canzoniere, three (the 
 earliest by Charles Lyell, 1835) ; of the De Monarchia, two (the 
 earliest by F. J. Church, 1879) ; of the De Vulgari Eloquentia, 
 two (the earliest by A. G. Ferrers Howell, 1890) ; of the Epistolae, 
 two (the earliest by P. H. Wicksteed, 1904) ; of the Eclogae, 
 three (the earliest, in blank verse, by E. H. Plumptre, 1887) ; of 
 the Quaestio de Aqua et Terra^ four (the earliest by C. H. Bromby, 
 1897). 
 
 In the domain of art, the representations of the episode of 
 ' Paolo and Franeesca ' have been by far the most numerous, there 
 being more than fifty of this subject in one or other of its phases, 
 of which nine are by sculptors. The earliest is a drawing by 
 Fuseli (1777), who also executed the earliest oil painting (1786) ; 
 the earliest sculptured representation is an alto-relievo by 
 R. Westmacott (1838). Of the 'Ugolino' episode there are eight 
 representations, two of which are by sculptors ; the earliest 
 painting being the Academy picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds 
 (1773), which is believed to be the first easel picture by any 
 artist of a subject from Dante ; the earliest sculpture is that 
 by J. Gallagher (1835). Of Beatrice (assuming all the repre- 
 sentations to be of Dante's Beatrice ^) there are between thirty 
 and forty ; while of portraits, statues, or busts of Dante himself 
 there are more than twenty. Of ' illustrators ' of the Commedia 
 the most famous are Flaxman, with 111 outline ' compositions * 
 (1793) ; and Blake, with 98 coloured, or partly coloured, designs 
 (1824-7), of which seven (from tlie Inferno) were engraved 
 by him and published in 1827, the year of his death. Of 
 
 ^ One or two, which have no distinguishing motto in the Catalogues, may 
 possibly be of the Shakespearean Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing, 
 
viii PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 other artists, the most prohfic and the most widely known is 
 D. G. Rossetti, who between 1849 and 1882 executed nearly 
 100 paintings or drawings of subjects from the Vita Nuova and 
 Commedia, his most important and most celebrated work being 
 the oil painting of ' Dante's Dream ' (1871), now in the Walker 
 Art Gallery at IJverpool. 
 
 The Record, covering as it does such a wide field during a 
 period of nearly five centuries and a half, naturally makes no 
 claim to be exhaustive — numerous more or less serious omissions ^ 
 there assuredly will be in an attempt of this kind, especially in 
 the later and more crowded years — 
 
 ' Ma chi pensasse il ponderoso tema, 
 E r omero mortal che se ne carca, 
 Nol biasmerebbe se sott' esso trema.' '^ 
 
 Incomplete though it be, the Record constitutes a remarkable 
 tribute on the part of literary and artistic Britain to the 
 transcendent genius of ' the grete poete of Itaille ', who now, 
 after six hundred years, has less cause than ever, as the present 
 world-wide celebration testifies, for the apprehension he ex- 
 pressed to the spirit of his ancestor Cacciaguida, 
 
 ' di perder viver tra coloro 
 Che questo tempo chiameranno antico.' ^ 
 
 * A few entries which had been overlooked, and were noted too late for insertion 
 in their places in the Record, will be found in the Addenda.

 Giovanni da Serravalle, Bishop of Fermo, writes a translation 
 in Latin prose of the Divina Commedia, together with a Latin com- 
 mentary, at the instance of two English Bishops, Nicholas Bubwith 
 of Bath and Wells, and Robert Hallam of Salisbury (formerly 
 Chancellor of the University of Oxford), while attending the Council 
 of Constance. 
 
 [In the Preambula to this work Serravalle, who had himself visited England, 
 makes the interesting but not otherwise substantiated statement that 
 Dante was a student at Oxford — ' dilexit theologiam sacram, in qua diu 
 studuit tam in Oxoniis in regno Angliae, quam Parisiis in regno Franciae.']

 John Lydgate, in the Prologue of the fourthe boke of his Fall of

 and in the XXXII chapter of the nynth boke describes how ' Daunt of 
 Florence, the laureate poete ', appeared to ' Johnn Bochas ' in his 
 study (fol. ccxi).

 (Feb. 25.) Humphrey Duke of Gloucester presents to the Uni- 
 versity of Oxford two MSS. of Dante — Commentaria Dantes and 
 Liber Dantes — together with works of Petrarch and Boccaccio. 
 
 [The first MS. was a copy of the Latin commentary on the Divina Commedia 
 written by Giovanni da Serravalle 27 years before (see under 1416-17). 
 This same MS. was catalogued a century later by John Leland among the 
 MSS. in the Library of the University of Oxford (see under 1536-42). The 
 second MS. was a copy of the Italian text of the Divina Commedia. (See 
 Times Literary Supplement, March 18 ; April 22, 1920.)]

 John Leland, in his notes made during his tour through England 
 in these years as ' King's antiquary ', registers a copy of Commentarii 
 Joannes de Seravala super opera Dantis Aligerii, in the University 
 Library at Oxford ; and Dantes tralatus in carmen Latinum, at 
 Wells. 
 
 [See Leland, Collectanea, ed. Hearne, 1715 (iv. 58, 155). The copy of 
 Serravalle's commentary was no doubt identical with the Commeyitaria 
 Dantes presented to the University by Humphrey Duke of Glouci|ster in 
 1444 (see under that date). The MS. at Wells was probably a copy of 
 Serravalle'g translation (wrongly described, it being a line-for-line prose 
 version), the gift perhaps of Bishop Bubwith, the foimder of the Cathedral 
 Library, and one of the two English bishops at whose instance the trans- 
 lation was made (see under 1416-17).]

 the Elder as not inferior to Dante and Petrarch.

 Leland, in his Epigrammata (first printed in 1589), compares 
 Chaucer to Dante and Petrarch, and describes Henry Count of 
 Saxony as the equal of any of the three (ed. 1589, pp. 80, 98).

 In the Catalogue of the Library of Henry VIII at Westminster is 
 registered a copy of ' Danti's works in the Castilian tongue '. 
 
 [See Edwards, Libraries and Founders of Libraries, pp. 152 ff. The work 
 in question was probably a MS. copy of the earliest Spanish translation 
 of the Divina Commedia, the prose version made in 1427-8 by Enrique 
 de Villena (see Bull. Soc. Dant. Ital., N.S. xiii. 274).]

 Henry Parker, Lord Morley, in the dedication to Henry VIII 
 of his translation of Boccaccio's De Claris Mulieribus, speaks of 
 Dante, ' for hys greate learnynge in hys mother tunge, surnamyde

 11. 1-6; iv. 27, 11. 37-4(X; these being the first mentions of that 
 treatise (' Dants Banquet ') in English literature. Barker also in 
 this work uses the word ' Dantist ' for the first time in English. 
 
 Thomas Churchyard, in his preliminary verses to the Pithy 
 pleasaunt and profitable Workes of Maister Skelton, mentions ' Marrot, 
 Petrark, and Dantte ' among poets whom ' forrayn realms advance '.

 Sir Philip Sidney, in An Apologie for Poetrie, holds that ' the 
 first that made the Italian language aspire to be a Treasure-house 
 of Science, were the poets Dante, Boccace, and Petrarch ' ; that 
 ' whatsoever the Historian is bound to recite, that may the Poet (if 
 he list) with his imitation make his own . . , having all, from Dante his 
 heaven, to hys hell, under the authoritie of his penne ' ; and that the 
 soul of him who believes that the poet can confer immortality, per- 
 chance ' shal be placed with Dante's Beatrix, or Virgil's Anchises '.

 in English literature ; for a doubtful earlier mention by Gabriel Harvey, 
 see under 1577.]

 this ' saying '.]

 Dante into the mouth of the Country-Man : ' If I speake not to your 
 purpose, I will speake to mine owne : and I will say as one Dante, 
 an Italian Poet, once said in an obscure Booke of his. Understand

 William Drummond, in his Poems, imitates (as is supposed) 
 
 Dante among other Italian poets ; thus in Sonnet viii he speaks of 
 
 stars as ' nymphs ', as does Dante in Par. xxiii. 26 ; and in Sonnet xlvi 
 
 he says ' passed jjleasures double but new woe ', which may be 
 
 a reminiscence of Inf. v. 121-3. 
 
 [Drummond is known to have possessed a copy of the Divina Commedia 
 (Venice, GioHto, 1555), which eventually passed into the Heber collection.]

 (' Poverty and Want, Causes of Melancholy ') to the story how 
 ' Dantes that famous Italian Poet, by reason his clothes were but

 mean, could not be admitted to sit down at a feast '. In Part ii 
 
 (' Digression of Ayre ') he enquires ' what is the centre of the earth ? 
 
 ... is it the place of hell, as Virgil in his Aeneides, Plato, Lncian, 
 
 Dantes, and others poetically describe it ? ' In Part iii (' Syniptomes 
 
 of Religious Melancholy ') he declares the account of Paradise in the 
 
 Alcoran to be ' so ridiculous, that Virgil, Dantes, Lucian, nor any 
 
 Poet can be more fabulous '. 
 
 [The story referred to in the first passage appears to be a version of the 
 anecdote related by Giovanni Sercambi, how Dante was placed at the 
 lowest seat at an entertainment given by King Robert of Naples, on 
 account of his shabby clothes.] 
 
 Matthew Kellison, in The Right and Jurisdiction of the Prelate 
 
 and the Prince, quotes (p. 268) sundry authors to prove that ' Dantes 
 
 was after his death almost condemned of heresie ', and that he was 
 
 ' put in the Index amongst prohibited authors, 'and his book of 
 
 Monarchic condemned ' ; and states that as a poet he does not deserve 
 
 a hearing in a theological dispute,

 Answer, that he knew not who ; Si jo vo, chi sta. Si jo sto, chi va ; 
 
 If I go, I know not who shall stay at Home ; if I stay, I know not 
 
 who can perform this Employment ' (printed in Cabala sive Scrinia

 {Inf. xi. 109 ff., with the commentary of Daniello), and religion in its 
 relation to the state {Purg. xvi. 106-12, 127-9) ; under the heading 
 Rex he appeals to the De Monarchia as evidence that Dante considered 
 
IN LITERATURE AND ART 15 
 
 the authority of the King to be independent of the Pope ; and under 
 
 Nobilitas he refers to Dante's canzone on the subject, prefixed to 
 
 Book iv of the Convivio. 
 
 [In connexion with the De Monarchia Milton refers to Boccaccio's account 
 in his Vita di Dante of the burning of the book as an heretical work by 
 the Cardinal du Pouget, an account, he says, which was cut out by the 
 Inquisitor from the last edition of the Vita, in which all mention of the 
 treatise was suppressed. This remark proves incidentally that Milton 
 was acquainted with the Vita Nuova, the editio princeps of which was 
 published at Florence in 1576 in the same volume as fifteen of Dante's 
 canzoni, and the censored edition of Boccaccio's Vita (see Dante in English 
 Literature, i. xxvi-vii, 122, n. 4).]

 Than his Casella, whom he wooed to sing. 
 Met in the milder shades of Purgatory.' 
 
 [In the original draft of the sonnet, preserved among the MSS. at Trinity

 Stramineus at Paris, ' where the philosophicall professors taught

 instance of ' how unhappy great Poets have been in versifying their

 Dante's death.]

 Henry Trench, an historical painter, brings to England from 
 
 Italy a bas-relief (attributed to Michael Angelo, but more probably 
 
 by Pierino da Vinci) representing the tragedy of Ugolino and his 
 
 children as related by Dante in Inferno xxxiii. 
 
 [Vasari, in his ' Life of Pierino da Vinci ', states that Pierino made a 
 basso-relievo of this subject in wax, and afterwards cast it in bronze. 
 What is beh"eved to be tlie original wax design is now in tlie Ashmolean 
 Museum at Oxford, where there is also a plaster cast of the bas-relief. 
 This wax bas-relief was in the collection of William Hoare, R.A., the 
 portrait painter (1706-92), and afterwards in that of his son, Prince Hoare 
 (1755-1834), whence it passed to Philip Bury Duncan, Keeper of the 
 Ashmolean Museum (1826-55), by whom it was presented to the Univer- 
 sity in 1841. An engraving of the original bas-relief (as is supposed) in 
 the Casa Gherardesca at Florence is among the illustrations (Plate CI) 
 of the Vernon Dante (see The Earliest English Illustrators of Dante, in 
 Quarterly Review, Oct. 1909).]

 begun to file their language, at least in verse, before the time of 
 Boccace '.

 In Quarterly Review (Jan.), Art. v, it is held that in invention 
 Dante is far below many poets, particularly Milton, and that in

 There is Dantes y® poete Floretine buried.' 
 
 [The earliest reference to Dante's tomb at Ravenna. The fragment is 
 preserved in the Cambridge University Library. I am indebted to 
 Mr. Charles Sayle for drawing my attention to it, and for the transcript 
 of the above passage.] 
 
 1799 
 
 Francis Gladwin, in The Persian Moonshee, introduces two 
 
 anecdotes of Dante (ed. 1840, in vol. i, pp. 151, 162). 
 
 [The first is Poggio's story of the trick played upon Dante at the court of 
 Can Grande (see Toynbee, Life of Dante, ed. 1910, p. 146) ; the second is 
 Sercambi's anecdote of Dante and King Robert of Naples {op. ciL, pp. 
 152-4).] 
 
 1815 
 
 Keats (as is probable), in line 7 of his sonnet ' On first looking into 
 
 Chapman's Homer ', introduces, through the medium of Gary's 
 
 translation, reminiscence of Par. xix. 64. 
 
 [For the line as it now stands Keats originally wrote, ' Yet could I never 
 tell what men could mean.']

ADDENDA 191 
 
 1846 
 
 R. Browning, in the last number of Bells and Pomegranates, in 
 an explanation of the title of the series, refers to the Bargello portrait, 
 in which ' Giotto placed a pomegranate fruit in the hand of Dante '. 
 
 Richard Ford, in Gatherings from Spain, in the chapter on 
 banditti (ch. 16) compares the conduct to his victims of the robber 
 Roque Guinart, as described by Cervantes, with that of ' the Italian 
 bandit Ghino de Tacco, immortalised by Dante ' {Purg. vi. 14) ; and, 
 a propos of the door of the condemned cell of a Spanish prison, 
 quotes Inf. iii. 9 ; in the chapter on bull- fights (ch. 21), in connexion 
 with the fact that ' in Spain butchers are of the lowest caste ', he 
 remarks that ' Francis I never forgave the " Becajo de Parigi " 
 applied by Dante to his ancestor ' (Purg. xx. 52). 
 
 1848 
 
 Thackeray, in The Book of Snobs, represents (ch. 26) the author 
 ' in a waggish mood asking Miss Wirt [Miss Ponto's governess] 
 whether Dante Algiery was so called because he was born at Algiers ', 
 to which he ' received a smiling answer in the affirmative '. 
 
 Dickens, in Dombey and Son, introduces (ch. 23) reminiscence of 
 Inf. iii. 9 a propos of the ' two ominous extinguishers ' on either side 
 of the door of Mr. Dombey's house, ' that seemed to say, " Who enter 
 here, leave light behind ".' 
 
 1850 
 
 Thackeray, in Rebecca and Rowena, in his account of the siege of 
 the Castle of Chains (ch. 3) says, ' What should prevent me from 
 describing the agonies of hunger which the Count (a man of large 
 appetite) suffered in company with his heroic sons and garrison ? — 
 Nothing, but that Dante has already done the business in the 
 notorious history of Count Ugolino.' 
 
 1851 
 George Borrow, in Lavengro, records (ch. 15) a dialogue on the 
 subject of Dante between himself and his ' preceptor in the French 
 and Italian tongues ', a banished priest — ' " Vous serez un jour un 
 grand philologue, mon cher^\ said the old man, on our arriving at the 
 conclusion of Dante's Hell. " I hope I shall be something better," 
 said I, . . . " for example, I would rather be like him who wrote this 
 book."—" Quoi, Monsieur Dante ? He was a vagabond, my dear, 
 forced to fly from his country . . . one bad dog, forced to fly from his 
 country — died with not enough to pay the undertaker," — " Were you 
 not forced to flee from your country ? " — " That very true ; but 
 
192 ADDENDA 
 
 « 
 
 1851 — continued. 
 
 there is much difference between me and this Dante. He fled from 
 country because he had one bad tongue which he shook at his betters. 
 I fly because benefice gone, and head going . . . Mafoi, ily a beaucoup 
 de difference entre moi et ce sacre de Dante." ' Later Borrow describes 
 how, while fishing, ' sometimes my mind would dwell on my studies — 
 on the sonorous stanzas of Dante, rising and falling like the waves 
 of the sea.' In a dialogue (ch. 17) between himself and Jasper, the 
 latter tells him he wants mother sense — ' What makes you think 
 that I want sense ? ' — ' That, being so old, you can't yet guide 
 yourself ! ' — ' I can read Dante, Jasper.' — ' Anan, brother.' — Subse- 
 quently he confesses (ch. 18) that ' of late I had abandoned in a great 
 measure the study of the beautiful Italian, and the recitation of the 
 sonorous terzets of the Divine Comedy, in which at one time I took 
 the greatest delight.' 
 
 1857 
 
 Dickens, in Little Dorrit, represents (Bk. ii, ch. 6) Miss Fanny as 
 ' completing Mr. Sparkle's conquest with some remarks upon Dante 
 — ^known to that gentleman as an eccentric man in the nature of an 
 Old File, who used to put leaves round his head, and sit upon a stool 
 for some unaccountable purpose outside the cathedral at Florence '. 
 
 George Borrow, in The Romany Rye, quotes (ch. 4) and applies 
 to Lord Lovat what Dante says (Inf. xxvii. 74-5) of Guido da Monte- 
 feltro — ' Old Fraser, of Lovat . . . thought he was a hero, and proved 
 himself nothing more than an old fox ; he got up a hollow tree, 
 didn't he, just like a fox ? " L'opere sue non furon leonine, ma di 
 volpe ".' 
 
 1865 
 Matthew Arnold, in ' Pagan and Mediaeval Religious Senti- 
 ment ', in Essays in Criticism, suggests that ' in Sophocles the 
 thinking-power a little overbalances the religious sense, as in Dante 
 the religious sense overbalances the thinking-power '. 
 
 1871 
 Thomas Hardy, in Desperate Remedies, compares (ch. 8, § 5) 
 Cytherea upbraiding Edward Springrove, to ' Beatrice accusing 
 Dante from the chariot ' {Purg. xxx. 55 ff.). 
 
 1878 
 Hardy, in The Return of the Native, compares (Bk. i, ch. 3) the 
 scene from Rainbarrow on Egdon Heath during the burning of the 
 
ADDENDA 193 
 
 bonfire to ' Limbo as viewed from the brink by the sublime Floren- 
 tine in his vision ', and ' the muttered articulations of the wind in 
 the hollows ' to ' complaints and petitions from the " souls of mighty 
 worth " suspended therein ' {Inf. iv). 
 
 1894 
 
 Hardy, in ' On the Western Circuit ', in Life's Little Ironies, says 
 
 (ch. 1) of the scene of the steam-circuses at Melchester at night, ' the 
 
 spectacle was that of the eighth chasm of the Inferno as to colour 
 
 and flame '. 
 
 [The reference may be to the flames in Bolgia 8 of Circle VIII of Hell 
 {Inf. xxvi) ; but perhaps the ' chasm ' in question is Round 3 of Circle VII, 
 in which the burning sand and the steam from Phlegethon are conspicuous 
 features (/«/. xiv. 89-90 ; xv. 2-3).]
