# dan-death-sentence

Date: 1302

## The fact

The 1302 condemnation cluster includes death if Dante returns. The scaffold is the commune's. The instrument is that return-equals-death clause, not a later novel. Dante Alighieri's documented role is: The commune's sentence threatened death on return. He did not hang himself. High confidence on the public condemnation file as later dated.

## Context

The exile row is the displacement. 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.

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

## Significance

The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not invent a unique stake-and-fire coefficient beyond the public condemnation file.

## What is established and what is not

Naming Dante Alighieri does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1302-03-10 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.

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

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