Yesterday, one of the books I checked out give me a little bit of a surprise...
Page 14: "Mystical night journey" description.
Me to myself: That kind of reminds me of Christine de Pizan...
Page 15: "It is generally accepted that Dante based his Divine Comedy on the story of Muhammed's night ascension into heaven..."
Really?
Why did I never learn about that in Dante class at Jesuit college?
(Unless it was sandwiched in somewhere between lengthy disquisitions on Thomas Aquinas...)
