Dante's most celebrated work is the "Divina Commedia" which he began in 1307. It is his spiritual testimony through Hell and Purgatory, guided by Virgil, and finally to Paradise, guided by Beatrice. It gives an encyclopaedic knowledge of the age, all expressed in the most exquisite poetry. The "Divina Commedia", which Dante began in Latin, established Italian as a literary language. Dante also completed other important canzoni or short poems, eclogues, and an unfinished work, "De Vulgari Eloquentia", discussing the origin of the language, the divisions of language and the dialect of Italian in particular.
