   • 1321, Dante Alighieri, La divina commedia: Purgatorio [The Divine Comedy: Purgatory] (paperback), Bompiani, published 2001, Canto X, lines 1–6, page 142:

     Poi fummo dentro al soglio de la porta ¶ che ’l mal amor de l’anime disusa, ¶ perché fa parer dritta la via torta, ¶ sonando la senti’ esser richiusa; ¶ e s’io avesse li occhi vòlti ad essa, ¶ qual fora stata al fallo degna scusa?

     When we had crossed the threshold of the door which the perverted love of souls disuses, because it makes the crooked way seem straight, re-echoing I heard it closed again; and if I had turned back mine eyes upon it, what for my failing had been fit excuse?

From Medieval Latin solium, from a development of Latin solium (“tub, bathtub”).
