ABSTRACT
Alberic of Settefrati (b. c. 1100) was a monk of Monte Cassino under Gerard (1111–23). His vision, at the age of ten, was written down in 1121–23 by Guido, a priest of the Abbey of Monte Cassino; his work was corrected by Alberic, under Abbot Senioretto, with the help of Peter the Deacon in 1127–37. Primary focus of criticism has been on its relation to the Divine Comedy. The sole ms, of about 7000 words, is Monte Cassino 257, fol. 712–34. This work bears traces of the influence of the visions of Perpetua, Wetti, Furseus, and the Voyage of Brendan, texts which were present in the library.
