In this episode we briefly comment on the appearence of Aristotle in the Comedy, in Canto IV of the Inferno, and  In Canto IV, Limbo, Dante meets the Philosopher Aristotle:

  I saw the master sage of those who know, 

sitting with his philosophic family.

All gaze at him, all pay their homage to him; 

and there I saw both Socrates and Plato,

 each closer to his side than any other.

  In Italian:  

vidi ’l maestro di color che sanno 

seder tra filosofica famiglia.

Tutti lo miran, tutti onor li fanno:

  quivi vid’io Socrate e Platone, 

che ’nnanzi a li altri più presso li stanno;

 Canto IV, verse 131-135.
