Ah... it makes sense now. Dante produced quite a number of celebrated works in his time, but most folks only remember The Divine Comedy... there I go making assumptions again.

Doh! I always get these two authors confused. ;')
Washington Irving <> Dante Alighieri
Washington Irving in 1828 published a fictional tale of Columbus' voyage.
"History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus"
In case anyone was gnawing in suspense. ;')

I never said it was "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. I also don't remember where I saw the story noting the exact fiction supposedly responsible for the myth.

If one reads "The Divine Comedy" (The work by Dante Alighieri cited in this post) you will find this is not true.
