> Откуда у предшественника Данте были такие познания?
Опять врете. По инерции, что ли? Не был Мильтон предшественником Данте.
Flanagan, Roy, ed. Introduction. John Milton: Paradise Lost. New York: Macmillan, 1993.
The author makes it clear that Milton was very much interested in the subject matter of Dante. In his book Commonplace Book, a notebook in which he kept record of his readings from his school days to about 1665 or 1667, he had several notations of some of Dante’s works. Milton’s notations in his book indicate his admiration for Dante’s writing.
Hunter, William B., et al. "Dante." A Milton Encyclopedia. London: Associated University Presses, 1978 ed.
Milton wrote about the edition of the Commedia of Daniello, a commentary on Dante, in his Commonplace Book. Although this is the only edition to which he refers, it is very probable that he was familiar with other editions reprinted in the sixteenth century. Milton, in his own testimony, alluded to the fact that he knew Dante’s Commedia, and evidence suggest that he admired it, as a work of art. The author shows that Dante influenced several others of Milton’s works. He refers to Dante’s Inferno and to Pardisio in the sonnet To Mr. H. Lawes. Milton also wrote about Dante in a letter to Benedetto Buonmattei, commenting that Dante is one of the Italian authors to whom he is "glad to go for afeast."
Milton, John. "Of Education." John Milton. Eds. Orgel, Stephen and Jonathan Goldberg. New York: Oxford University Press, 1991. 226-236.
Milton writes about Dante in his prose Of Education. He refers to Mazzoni, author of a 1587 commentary on Dante, and he reflects his appreciation for the Italian commentators like Mazzoni, who through their commentaries exemplify the laws of a true epic poem. And he speaks of Dante as one who teaches "that sublime art" which enables men to discourse and write eloquently.
Wolfe, Don M. "John Milton, the love poetry of Dante and Petrarch." Dante: The Critical Heritage. Ed. Michael Caesar. London: Routledge, 1953. 323-25.
Wolfe supports the concept of Milton’s admiration for Dante. He indicates that Milton’s Commonplace Book contains no less than six quotations from The Divine Comedy. And he wrote: "His admiration for [Dante] is nowhere more apparent" than in An Apology for Smectymnuus.
