In this episode we briefly comment on the appearence of Aristotle in the Comedy, in Canto IV of the Inferno, and 
In Canto IV, Limbo, Dante meets the Philosopher Aristotle:



I saw the master sage of those who know,


sitting with his philosophic family. 

All gaze at him, all pay their homage to him;


and there I saw both Socrates and Plato,
each closer to his side than any other. 



In Italian:



vidi ’l maestro di color che sanno


 seder tra filosofica famiglia.

Tutti lo miran, tutti onor li fanno:

 quivi vid’io Socrate e Platone,

 che ’nnanzi a li altri più presso li stanno; 


Canto IV, verse 131-135.
