Cil. , p. 688. » Ibidem. IN PURGATORIO, CANTO XXXIII 19 is quite possible that he may not have found any letter corre- sponding to " o, " and that he may have gone to work in his own way to assign a numerical value to it. ' Such an admission, on such authority, is all that I want. Nothing more than this is required to justify the suggestion I have now to make. If, then, Dante were unable to find either that any recog- nized value existed for '' o, ' or that it definitely ' corresponded ' with a...ny one of those twenty-two Hebrew letters which had such values assigned to them, it is surely not unreasonable to suppose that he would fall back on his own resources, if he were to complete his riddle. What more natural then (as it appears to me) than that he should give to ' o ' the value 4, as being the fourth vowel ? If this be admitted, and this (be it observed) is the only assumption throughout, we obtain the precise number 515 : — a = I r = 200 r = 200 i = 10 c or k = 100 o = 4 The process of thus giving a numerical value to names and words was a thoroughly familar one in the time of Dante and long before.
