In the central part of the work, the pages of the book have been excavated re-proposing the configuration of Dante's Paradise with its 10 concentric rings. The multiple layers obtained also allude to the interpretative levels of a biblical text (Pesat = literary sense, Remez = allegorical value, Derasah = interpretation of the midrash, Sod = the mystical mystery) method called by the kabbalists PARDES, literally paradise.
