Dante's La Vita Nuova

One of the most peculiar and moving accounts of love by one of the world's greatest poets.
Dante wrote this short book as an autobiography told in poem and prose. It is a preamble to his famous Divine Comedy. A story of love that begins at nine years of age and which never ends.
A summary and analysis. Special references to Augustine's Confessions and Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy.
Join me as I try to figure it out.

Thank you so much for the great and informative video! I think at 8:10 you meant to say 3 to the power of 2 is equal to 9 :)

@Colin Kerr failed to share reference in the book of la vita nuova when Dante explained the importance of 9 in his books and DANTE wrote in chapter XXIX "what i meant to say is this : the number THREE is the root of NINE for,without any other number multiplied by itself ,it gives NINE :it is quite clear that THREE times THREE is NINE . therefore ,if THREE is the sole factor of NINE .and the sole factor of miracle is THREE That Is ,Father,son,and Holy Spirit ,who are THREE in one, then this lady was accompanied by the number NINE so that it might be understood that she was a NINE,or a mircale whose root namely that of the miracle ,is the miraculous Trinity itself .
