Dante’s “Comedy” has three sections or volumes. The first section is the hell, the second one is the purgatory (in other words a place for being purified from sins) and the third is the heaven. Her book involves one hundred rhymes. Every section (volume) consists of ten layers. There are two special numbers in this book; one of them is 3 which is a symbol of trinity and the other is 10 which is a symbol of unity. Dante’s trip starts from the hell then goes to the purgatory and purifies himself; finally, he moves to the heaven. “Ardavirafnameh’’ is one of the writings which had a great influence on Dante. Ardaviraf is a Zoroastrian person who reports his seven-day fanciful trip about what he has seen. Manuscript profile
