ABSTRACT

This Latin vision of heaven and hell, with the earliest manuscript dating from the tenth-eleventh century, is related to the apocalyptic Fourth Book of Ezra and therefore within this genre is closely related to the Visio Pauli. The VE is also related to two later works, the Greek Apocalypsis Esdrae and the Greek Apocalypsis Sedrach. Although the Latin Visio may be a translation from the Greek, there is some doubt on this point.
