Author of the Divine Comedy (5)
I believe the answer is:
dante
'author of the divine comedy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dante that I've seen before include "Italian poet, writer of the Divine Comedy" , "Inferno poet" , "Net Da a poet" , "Great Italian poet of 'The Divine Comedy'" , "Author of the Divine Comedy, d. 1321" .)
