Yes, that is what I am doing: I read the short introduction to the Canto, and the bit at the end about the images, then read the Canto and then read the notes about the people and events. At the moment I am reading five Cantos a day, as I find I lost concentration if I try to read more than that.
I can imagine that reading medieval Tuscan would be rather like reading Chaucer - almost a foreign language.
