To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is probable that as a Ghibelline he in no way accepted the slander- ous stories with which the triumphant Guelphs blackened her name. But he does in fact put in her own mouth the reason for which she has a seat in heaven, making her say : — << Cunizza fu chiamata, e qui refulgo Perch^ mi vinse il lume d'esta stella/* that is to say, " Cunizza I was called ; I shine here because I was conquered by the influence of Venus." Furthermore, it was probably notorious that she had been a great-hearted woman. While Dante implies the all potent amorous influence of the planet under which she was born, he dismisses any examination of the sins of her youth with the simple statement that she but AND CUNIZZA 5S obeyed her star. If she sinned, she sinned ^ through her temperament ; not regarded or punished as an adulteress, but forgiven much because she loved much. How could Dante condemn her when the Syrian Magdalen was not condemned by Christ ; and the woman of Samaria found grace in His sight ?
