Summary/Abstract: The author of the article takes a mathematical approach in order to reconstruct the Universe as it is depicted in the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri. He considers the numbers of verses and lines (as well as the measurements of the Cosmos, the Earth, the Inferno and Purgatory) and comes to the conclusion that the comedy is unfinished. It lacks one line. The author believes that, according to Dante’s intention, it should be written continuously by people, generation after generation, and never finished. It will remain unfinished no matter how many books are written.
