The New Life by Dante Alighieri is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: IN that part of the book of my memory before which little can be read is found a rubric which says: Incipit Vita Nova [The New Life begins].
Under which rubric I find the words written which it is my intention to copy into this little book, - and if not all of them, at least their meaning. This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
