Abstract: A student of the late Limentani, Botterill traces his teacher's role in the development of Dante studies at Cambridge after the Second World War. Although his major interest was not the Trecento, Limentani's lifelong commitment to the study and teaching of Dante was always aimed at reaching as wide an audience as possible. For this and for his work for the Cambridge lecturae Dantis, he well deserves to be called a Dantist.
