Gilson concludes his study with an entire section devoted to Cristoforo Landino and his Comento sopra la Comedia.While placing such great focus on one scholar in particular in a study that has, up to this point, provided what is in essence a survey (albeit a richly detailed and comprehensive survey), might seem inconsistent with the structure of the overall organization of the book, a thorough reading of the Landino section reveals it to be an apt conclusion.The 1481 production of the Landino Comento encapsulates and represents the culmination of the various projects and movements outlined and surveyed in the earlier chapters.Gilson characterizes Landino's work as having borrowed from "an intricate web of earlier authorities, " from contemporary Florentine discussions and debates, and from idistinctive adaptations.The chapters on Landino's work then confirm what the earlier chapters have been suggesting and which the author himself concludes.
