While Dante got to just stand and gawk at the sinners, Tnugdalus is forced to actually participate in punishments. In a similar fashion to Dante’s version of hell, shades are punished according to their earthly sins. “Vision of Tnugdalus” is the story of a real Irish knight who purportedly had a three day venture through the hereafter under the supervision of an angel. Turns out Dante was not the only one to have adventures in hell. Instead of getting involved, he chooses to engage in a cordial conversation with Ciacco.īonus round: Les Visions du chevalier Tondal Of course Dante is his usual helpful self. A man below Cerberus’s feet is mildly irritated by being stepped on by Cerberus’s giant bird feet. It looks like Virgil is trying to start something à la Jerry Springer while Cerberus is motioning to try and calm him down.

At the time of my search, I was particularly interested in depictions of Cerberus from Inferno. The following is a list of the manuscripts of Inferno/Divine Comedy I managed to find. I spent quite some time scouring the internet for any images or potential full digitization, that existed. Nevertheless, the book offered me details and a list of manuscripts I could attempt to hunt down online. Unfortunately, many of the reproductions were small or low quality. My copy was printed in 1969 and included some plates of illuminations from the manuscripts. One of the greatest resources I had, thanks to my college library, was access to a copy of Illuminated Manuscripts of the Divine Comedy by Peter Brieger, Millard Meiss and Charles S. I was particularly interested in researching illuminated manuscripts of the Divine Comedy itself. For my Dante’s Inferno game, I want the art style to be inspired by illuminated manuscripts.
