This review in The New Republic claims that Dante's Vita Nuova is untranslatable. I guess we are all supposed to learn medieval Italian if we want to read it. Sympathy to Andrew for having attracted the formidable attention and erudition of Vendler only to be told that all that labor of his is for nothing.
