RE: Flat Earther Society and Dante

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.
