The translation, by Professor Hussein Mahmoud, winner of the ‘Premio Speciale Flaiano di Italianistica’ in 2012 with Mahfouz in Italia, published by Dar Al Maaref in Cairo, is an important Arabic publication in this year of Dante anniversary events. This work, which is essential to understand Dante’s early poetry, will be presented at the headquarters of the Cairo publishing house on 25 March as part of the Dante 2021 celebrations in Egypt, highlighting the continuing interest of the Arab-speaking world in Dante’s works, even 700 years after his death.
