Kenelm Foster, O.P., lecturer and reader in the University of Cambridge until his death in 1986, brought to Dante studies, not only a special combination of theological learning and literary scholarship, but a unique precision and poise in the exploration of complex ideas.

His many publications on Dante include two volumes of collected essays, God’s Tree. Essays on Dante and Other Matt ers (1957) and The Two Dantes and Other Studies (1977), each alike addressing among other things what he regarded as the problematic aspects of Dante’s Christianity, the diffi culty of bringing home Aristotle as the ‘master of those who know’ to a new way of seeing and understanding the world. John Took is Professor of Dante Studies in University College London.
