Scope and Contents

XV/2 The frontispiece of Canto V is here transposed as a negative image to represent Dante's view of the inverted nature of homosexual passion. The 'treasure' of the interior text once again refers to Brtmetto's work, the Tesoro (Thesaurus) being the only child he can produce in the sterility of this love. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
