Deutsch: Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) war ein italienischer Dichter und Philosoph.

English: Dante Alighieri (May/June 1265 – September 13/14, 1321) was a Florentine poet of the Middle Ages. His greatest work The Divine Comedy, is a culminating statement of the medieval world view and the basis of the modern Italian language. His work About Eloquence In the Vernacular (De Vulgari Eloquentia) suggests writing in a national Italian language instead of in Latin.

Español: Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) poeta italiano, autor de la Divina Comedia.
