"The Banquet (Il Convito)" by Dante Alighieri is an unfinished work which consists of four books, or, "tratatti": a prefatory one, plus three books that each include a canzone and a prose allegorical interpretation or commentary of the poem. The Convivio is a kind of vernacular encyclopedia of the knowledge of Dante's time; it touches on many areas of learning, not only philosophy but also politics, linguistics, science, astronomy, and history. The treatise begins with the prefatory book, or proem, which explains why a book like the Convivio is needed and why Dante is writing it in the vernacular instead of Latin. It is one of Dante's early defenses of the vernacular
