This text deals with Statius’ embryological narration, contained in Canto XXV of Purgatorio. It offers a reconstruction of the entire development of this narration (from v. 37 to v. 108), in order to restore its overall sense. It then offers a concise comparison of the text of Purg., XXV, 37-78 with that – parallel to it – of Convivio, IV, 21, 2-5. Thirdly, it dwells on the crucial points of Purg., XXV, 37-78 and the probable sources Dante draws on there. Then, it recalls some divergent lines of interpretation that now traditionally concern him. Finally, with reference to the thought of Thomas Aquinas, it helps to clarify the philosophical content of that passage.

Abstract
This text deals with Statius’ embryological narration, contained in Canto XXV of Purgatorio.

It then offers a concise comparison of the text of Purg., XXV, 37-78 with that – parallel to it – of Convivio, IV, 21, 2-5. Thirdly, it dwells on the crucial points of Purg., XXV, 37-78 and the probable sources Dante draws on there. Then, it recalls some divergent lines of interpretation that now traditionally concern him. Finally, with reference to the thought of Thomas Aquinas, it helps to clarify the philosophical content of that passage.
