    Abstract:
    This essay explores Dante Alighieri's notion of projectile motion in relation to spiritual fulfillment in the first canto of Paradiso. The notion of impetus, or projectile motion, stood at the confluence of Greek philosophical rationality (mediated by a substantial Arabic corpus) and Christian thought, and it provides a unique window through which we may view Dante's poetic interpretation of the dynamics of the "impeto primo," or first impetus.
