Maybe the Best Book Written on Dante
Gilson needs to be more widely known. A member of the French Academy and founder of the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies in Toronto, he was pretty much unassailable in his scholarship. His writings on St Thomas Aquinas and other medieval theologians and philosophers is magisterial. Happily he was also a great stylist in both French and English, and his translators did a great job in this and other works of his written in French.
