Date: 1315

## The fact

Dante Alighieri's documented role is: The poem teaches fitted punishment. He did not sit as a Florentine hangman of those cantos. High confidence on the public text.

## Context

The Inferno-punishments polarisation row is the faction-naming. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver justice-[judicial-independence](/drivers/justice-judicial-independence-erosion)-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

## Significance

A public fitted-harm doctrine in poetry is a justice path of medium-high weight as teaching, not as a scaffold. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

## What is established and what is not

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not split each bolgia.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Naming Dante Alighieri does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1315-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
