Focusing on Dante's interaction with his contemporary audience, this study uncovers the role of professional urban classes, particularly merchants and notaries, in the development of early Italian poetry. Through original research into manuscripts and documents, it highlights how these groups not only responded to Dante's work but also contributed to the preservation and dissemination of his poetry. This fresh perspective sheds light on the social dynamics influencing the literary landscape of Dante's time.
