Paradiso, xii:70-73.
“Dominico fu detto; ed io ne parlo sì come dell’agricola, che Cristo elesse all’orto suo per aiutarlo. Ben parve messo e famigliar di Cristo.”
(“Dominic was he named; and I speak of him as of the husbandman whom Christ chose for his orchard to bring aid to it. Well did he show himself a messenger and a familiar of Christ.”)
