selva oscura

THESIS The dark wood can be dated. LITInferno I opens "nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita … in una selva oscura", set at Easter 1300 and written about 1308–1321 (14th century). Real wood keeps time: dendrochronology cross-dates ring-width series against a master chronology. COMPUTEDA synthetic master chronology (climate-driven ring widths) and a beam sample with unknown dates; the page slides the sample and finds the best correlation, which recovers the true felling year. Entangled partner: Galileo's Inferno (blue).

MNEMONIC "Midway in the wood, count the rings back to 1300."
