His life was marked by bohemianism, violence, murder, and flight. The context includes counterreformation spirituality, eroticism, naturalism, and Papal court culture. We’ll close with his influence in his own time, and his fame in ours.

Dante’s Purgatorio THAI AMERICAN BREAKFAST Saturday & Sunday starting at 9:30am, $6.95 Daily Delivery 4:30-9:00pm Lunch & Dinner Specials All Organic Spices, Greens & Tofu Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten-free Options Wine & Cocktails Beer on Tap Bubble Tea & Smoothies Professor Gina Psaki (Romance Languages—Italian) Saturdays, February 9, 16, 23, March 2 (9:30 a.m.–noon) Browsing Room, 106 Knight Library, 1501 Kincaid Street Dorothy L. Sayers quipped that “to know Dante and the Commedia only through Inferno is like knowing Paris only through its sewer system.” The most human of Dante’s three realms, Purgatory is filled with song, kindliness, and hope, with ritual, nature, and art. Playing Through the Black Plague Visiting Assistant Professor Marc Schachter (Romance Languages—French) Saturday, March 9 (10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) Browsing Room, 106 Knight Library, 1501 Kincaid Street After the Black Death, Boccaccio penned the Decameron, in which ten youths flee Florence and tell each other witty, bawdy, and tragic tales. Two hundred years later, Queen Marguerite de Navarre composed a French version, the Heptaméron. Both address the timeless questions of life, love, and loss. We’ll use the UO Libraries’s rich holdings in rare books to understand Boccaccio’s reception in the Renaissance. (Lunch and book included).
