Jacopo Alighieri, Dante’s son, is mentioned as a poet whose verses describe Jerusalem as the centre of the world and use the term “Taccuino” in a passage about judging by the planets. These brief references establish his literary presence, but the account gives no fuller personal arc or relationships beyond his parentage.
