    The document summarizes Dante's Inferno, specifically the seventh circle of hell. It describes how Dante and Virgil enter the seventh circle containing the tomb of Pope Anastasius, who committed heresy. Virgil then explains how the circles are organized, with violence separated into different categories against neighbors, oneself, and God. Fraud is considered a worse sin because it goes against God's words in Genesis and is part of human nature. Each sin is punished based on Aristotle's view of how beast-like the sin is.
