The influence of Dante Alighieri’s work on Pre-Renaissance Spanish literature

Summary/Abstract: The present study focuses on the importance of the Spanish translations of Dante Alighieri’s work, on its receptivity and impact, but especially on the influence of ”The Divine Comedy” on Spanish authors during the Pre-Renaissance period. We will consider how Italian contributed to the modification of Spanish versification, focusing mainly on the poet named Marquis of Santillana, don Iñigo López de Mendoza, one of the first authors who tried to assimilate the vibrant cultural spirit of the work of Dante, who was considered to be a precursor of Humanism.
