Key Notes

ante-purgatory

Glossary

Ante-purgatory is the preliminary zone before purgatory proper, parallel to the infernal threshold before entry into Dis.

Lecture clarification on 2026-06-25.

definition

Jiang answers that the journeys are symmetrical because Inferno has an introductory canto before the gates of Dis and Purgatorio has ante-purgatory before true purgation; hell proper and purgatory proper begin only after those thresholds.
