The best way to gage Aristotle's influence on Dante's work is to follow his progression from poet of the Vita nuova to philosopher of the Convivio to political author of De Monarchia to poet of the Commedia. This sequence establishes Aristotle's influence before and after the Commedia as it relates to the issue of happiness and greed which prevents it; and differentiates between the mimetic poetry of the "dolce stil nuovo" and the allegorical poetry of the Commedia.

Dante's inclusion of Statius among De Vulgari Eloquentia's catalogue of Latin poets and his use of Statius's Thebaid in Convivio III–IV are well-known. Yet critical literature overlooks the significant development in Dante's treatment of Statius over the course of the two opere minori. This article argues that Dante's qualitatively different approach to Statius between De Vulgari Eloquentia, Convivio III, and Convivio IV. xxv both sheds light on Dante's reading programme in exile and acts as a prelude to Dante's engagement with Statius in Inferno and creation of Stazio-character in Purgatorio. Close analysis of Dante's changing engagement with Statius between De Vulgari Eloquentia, Convivio III and IV. xxv suggests Dante first encountered Statian epic in extracted form, stimulating Dante's interest such that he read the Thebaid in entirety. Dante's use of Statius in Convivio thus signals the beginning of Dante's intense engagement with Statian epic that culminates in the Commedia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At its core the Commedia is a poem written for and about adults, but children (and references to children) appear throughout. In this essay, I argue that the juvenilization of the main character relates directly to the poet's ages of man, namely the contrasting nature between adolescenza and gioventute, an intertextual connection between the Convivio and the Commedia that has never been previously explored. Dante thus allegorizes his afterlife journey within the context of life's ages of man relating the pilgrim to a figurative state of adolescenza, essentially condemning the protagonist to a developmental fall from the author's more advanced age with the poet/narrator emerging in his actual state of gioventute (i.e., maturity) recaptured through the completion of his afterlife experience. Although Dante inherently recognizes children's deficiencies, the poet will take advantage of them to foreground growth and maturation, especially in his portrayal of the protagonist's spiritual development.

This article investigates the reception of Dante's Convivio in Italy between c. 1334 and 1570. It gives an account of the presence of the treatise in the Trecento tradition of Dante commentary and in a variety of other Trecento and Quattrocento writings. It then pays particular attention to the printed editions of the treatise and their use by the major sixteenth-century Dante commentators and public readers of the poem (Alessandro Vellutello, Giovan Battista Gelli, Bernardino Daniello, Lodovico Castelvetro). The article explores both the Florentine and extra-Florentine reception of the treatise, the impact of its material form upon reading styles, and its place as a privileged interpretive key to the Comedy in sixteenth-century Dante criticism.
