Canto XXX/1 Clarity, reason and judgement were represented in Canto XI by a head (selected from Canto III/1) shown against a graph to signify Aristotle and his systems of classification. Here, to represent madness, head and graph are cut up and the fragments scrambled and superimposed, all falling to the bottom of the image area. As Homer's mask is broken and elevated in Canto XXVI so Aristotle's is here debased by the flight from reason of the fraudulent. In terms of colour the graph has now become more real as it registers the lowest of this group of categories, mad bestiality. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
