E.g. in the Dutch translation of some verses that the poet Arnaut / Arnaldo Daniello pronounces in Provencal in Canto 26 of Purgatory in Dante's Divine Comedy . After completing his own Dante translation in 1923, he sent a copy to George; George had been working on a partial translation of the Divine Comedy since 1901 .
