The Divine Comedy is not just a story with a beginning, development, and end. It is, first and foremost, an encrypted text in which the reader must bring order and detect the countless pearls scattered throughout the work, whether hidden or obvious. It was written in the golden language, or the language of birds, so to understand it, it is necessary to know ancient and traditional hermeneutics, as this is what Dante used from beginning to end. Dante claims that his work is a sacred poem. Indeed, it is a song to true new life, to which Lady Beatrice and the knight Dante, inseparably united forever, gain access. The author of the Divine Comedy was one of the leading members of the Fedeli d’Amore, an initiatory organization of Pythagorean tradition and close to the Occitan poetic-chivalric movement of fin’amor and trobar clus. His links with the Order of the Temple are also well known.
