The "Paradiso" has many references to St James, notably canto XXV, where St James questions Dante on Hope. "See now the Baron for whose sake Galicia's shrine on earth is visited." Dante's "La Vita Nuova" is also held in REF.
For a modern work drawing on Dante, see the opera "Compostella" by Serracino Inglott and Camilleri, in BKA.
