The book ""Theosophy in Dante's Divine Comedy"" by Maude Lambart-Taylor is a scholarly exploration of the esoteric and spiritual themes present in Dante Alighieri's epic poem, ""The Divine Comedy."" The author delves into the concepts of theosophy, which is the study of the nature of divinity and the universe, and how they relate to Dante's work. She examines the symbolism and imagery used by Dante, as well as the historical and cultural context in which the poem was written. Through her analysis, Lambart-Taylor argues that Dante's work is a profound expression of theosophical ideas and provides insights into the spiritual journey of the human soul. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of literature, philosophy, and spirituality who are interested in exploring the deeper meaning and significance of Dante's masterpiece.1923. The Divine Comedy is the drama of spiritual evolution. Perhaps there exists no poetical work elaborated with such care and precision, and which indicates more occult knowledge. In the Divine Comedy Beatrice is the symbol of divine philosophy or revelation, the higher self in man; Virgil represents reason or intellect, the purely human element in the training of the soul. Dante's work is full of theosophical meaning and alludes to many critical beliefs of theosophical students.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
