Dante Alighieri. La Divina Comèdia. J.M. de Sagarra (tras.). Barcelona: La Veu de Catalunya, 1935-1936.

Before it was published in book form, the newspaper La Veu de Catalunya published this translation by Josep Maria de Sagarra between 1935 and 1936. The Spanish Civil War prevented its publication beyond Canto XXVIII of the Inferno. This document belonged to Ramon d’Alòs-Moner, who collected the instalments of the translation.

Dante Alighieri. La Divina Comèdia. J.M. de Sagarra (tras.). Barcelona: s.n., 1947-1951.

Josep Maria de Sagarra translated the Divine Comedy in exile. Between 1947 and 1951, a deluxe, large-format edition that few could afford was published in bibliophile format. After the unsuccessful attempts – because they were never completed – of the translation by Verdaguer i Callís and Sagarra’s first version in La Veu de Catalunya, the intellectuals of the time considered this to be the translation they had been waiting for since the commemoration of Dante in 1921.
