The grandfathers of every internet discussion.

Also the answer is very clearly Ariosto

Dante is obviously superior.

PISTOLS AT DAWN!

It doesn’t work like that. If you feel like dueling me, I get to pick the weapon. Typical Dante fan, not understanding the basics

Typical Ariosto fan, so beholden to convention you are incapable of originality! Have at you!

Shout out to the priest who was also like “no way this motherfucker dies without validating my fav” after hearing he killed more than a dozen people over the issue.

Never heard of this Ariosto dude. Apparently he coined “humanism” as a term (albeit in Italian, umanesimo).

Dante Alighieri on the other hand, I do know. He didn’t coin a word. He just created the foundation for the Italian language.

So seems like they’re slightly in different leagues.

He coined “fertile” and “cinch”

Okay, true. What I meant is that he didn’t merely coin a word or two.

I love the logic of “I shall “prove” the superiority of writing by a man I’ve never met by hitting anyone who disagrees with my sword.” The twist ending is just dessert.
