Document Summary
Xxvii (27) 8th circle, 8th pouch: fraudulent counselors. Toward the end of his life (1296) he made peace with the pope and entered the franciscan order, whose members wore robes belted with rope cords. He died in the monastery of assisi in 1298: dante describes the state of political affairs in romagna. Dante speaks to guido because his is italian. He tells him that romagna is still in war: guido"s tale of the anticipatory but unavailing absolution given to him by. Boniface viii: the highest priest made guido fall back into bad habits. Quarrel of a demon and st. francis over guido"s soul. 2 keys: condemnation and absolution, power to lock and unlock heaven. Xxviii (28) 8th circle, 9th pouch: sowers of scandal and schism. Perpetually circling, the sinners are wounded, and after each healing, wounded again by a demon with a sword: people are torn apart.
