Date of composition
The start date for Dante's composition of the Divine Comedy in the article is given as 1308, but I have two sources which suggest the writing of the Divine Comedy was begun around 1306: Firstly Manni, Paola. (2003) Il Trecento Toscana: La lingua di Dante, Petrarca e Boccaccio. Bologna: il Mulino (see pages 125-126) and also Robert Hollander's introduction to his translation of Inferno, published by Anchor Books. Can you state where you got the 1308 date from? Otherwise I think it should be changed, unless anyone has other evidence? Medddows (talk) 18:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Syllables
Each line is 10 syllables, not eleven, or do I not understand something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bridgesfall (talk • contribs) 23:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
