Excerpt from A Dictionary of Proper Names and Notable Matters in the Works of Dante
In this Dante Dictionary I have made an attempt to bring together, in a convenient and concise form, such information as is available concerning the various persons and places mentioned or referred to in the works of Dante (i.e. in the Divina Commedia, the Canzoniere, the Vita Nuova, the Convivio, the De Vulgari Eloquentia, the De Monarchia, the Epistolae, the Eclogae, and the Quaestio de Aqua et Terra, as printed in the Oxford Dante). I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to present the results of the most recent researches. This has been, in not a few cases, a matter of some difficulty, owing to the fact that a great many of the numerous articles on Dantesque subjects published in Italy make their appearance in more or less ephemeral periodicals. For this reason I have been obliged occasionally to accept my information at second hand, through the medium of one or other of the special Dante publications, such as the Giornale Dantesco, the Bullettino della Socictà Dantesca Italiana, and the like. I am not sanguine enough to suppose that I have succeeded in every instance in bringing my articles wholly 'up to date'. In extenuation of any shortcomings in this respect I can only plead the wide extent of the field which has had to be explored, and the 'quel d'Adamo', as Dante puts it, 'l'incarco della carne d'Adamo', beneath which the energies of even the most ardent explorers will sometimes flag.
A few kindred subjects have been included with the proper names, such as the denominations of the several classes of sinners, &c., and of the various heavens, &c., mentioned in the Divina Commedia (e.g. Accidiosi, Ipocriti, Traditori; Cielo Stellato, Rosa Celestiale); certain personifications and titles (e.g. Aquila, Pellicano; Archimandrita, Savio); the titles of books quoted by Dante (e.g. Aeneis, Ethica, De Regimine Principum); and so on.
