XXX/2 Within the crags and boulders of this Bolgia we find the forger Master Adam who falsified the coinage of Florence. A dropsical wreck, his vast middle makes his legs useless, and only one arm retains its strength. The hint of red recalls Master Adam's death by fire at the stake. Behind him Gianni Schicchi and Myrrha go on their endless rabid chase into the gloom, in search of souls to bite. The figures and the landscape in this, almost the most literal of the book's images, are concocted from Dore's illustrations to the Inferno. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
