Be none of you outrageous: ere your time dare seize me, come forth from amongst you one, who having heard my words, decide he then if he shall tear these limbs', circa 1890. Dante and the Roman poet Virgil witness a soul being tortured by Malacoda, leader of the demons. Illustration from "The Vision of Hell" (Inferno), the first part of "The Divine Comedy" (La divina commedia) by Dante Alighieri. This long, narrative poem, written in Italian circa 1308-1321, tracing Dante's imaginary journey from Hell, through Purgatory and finally to Heaven and a beatific vision of God, has been published numerous times. This edition, published late 19th century, is illustrated by Gustave Dore. [Cassell Petter & Galpin, circa 1890]. Artist Gustave Doré. (Photo by The Print Collector/Getty Images)
