Today:

Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.

Hello all you wonderful readers and contributors of AskHistorians! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and bring you the latest batch of popular and/or interesting questions which did not get an answer yet:

/u/JJVMT - Why wasn't Dante's Divine Comedy translated into English until the late 18th/early 19th centuries when there was a clear interest in Italian literature among Early Modern English people?

/u/White___Velvet - What can you tell me about this weird Bunting Clover "map" from 1581?

/u/kurt292B - How relevant was the magravate of Brandenburg in HRE and European politics before it became Prussia?
