Development of this website began in Professor Jerome Bump's Multimedia Website Design and Development course, associated with the English Department at the University of Texas at Austin, in fall of 1998. We would like to thank Dr. Bump for his support and encouragement. We would also like to thank our fellow students for their input and interest.

The voice-overs are by Drs. Guy P. Raffa and Daniela Bini, professors in the Italian department at UT-Austin. We are grateful to them for the time and effort they invested as well as for their excellent mastery and delivery of medieval Italian.

The Italian text is from Mandelbaum, Allen. Inferno. University of California Press, 1980.

The two English translations are by Mandelbaum and Robert Pinsky: Pinsky, Robert. Inferno: A New Verse Translation. 1996.

The commentaries are from the Dartmouth Dante Project, directed by Robert Hollander of Princeton University. The Dartmouth Dante Project is an attempt to present Dante criticism of encyclopedic breadth and depth in the digital medium. See http://www.princeton.edu/~dante/dante2.html for more information.

The video clips are from Peter Greenaway's A Television Dante(1989), produced by: Vpro, CAL Videographics Ltd., Channel Four (UK), Dante B.V., Elsevier-Vendex, K.G.P., Artifax, RM Associates

The homepage image and the background images represent drawings by Barry Moser, who illustrated Mandelbaum's text.

The image at right, as well as the featured images in the frames, represent drawings by Gustav Dore, (1832-1883), perhaps the most famous illustrator of the 19th century.

The author of Inferno, and the man in the portrait at right, is none other than Dante Alighieri.
