ABSTRACT

This lengthy (c. 8500 words) vision of heaven, purgatory and paradise is dated October 1206 (All Souls’ Week) by both Ralph of Coggeshall and Roger of Wendover. The former is the redactor who translated Thurkill’s account into Latin. The preface mentions the visions of Tundale, the monk Stephen, the Monk of Eynsham, St. Patrick’s Purgatory, and Gregory’s Dialogues. The work recalls in part the Vision of Gunthelm and the Testament of Abraham.
