Abstract

Dante belonged to a poets group known as Dolce stil novo, based on the courtly love guidelines. Throughout his work we observe that the courtly ideals are spared to make way for a philosophy of love closely linked to the Christianism. From Vida nueva and all through the Comedia, Beatriz comes along with Dante, firstly, as a divinized human presence and, once in the Heaven, as a philosophical voice, specialised in theology.
