Himmelska visioner

Borgehammar, Stephan LU orcid (2007) p.21-33
Abstract
A number of medieval visions of the otherworld have been preserved in writing. This article studies six such visions from the seventh to the twelfth centuries. Whereas most studies focus on what such visions have to say about hell and purgatory, this study focuses on what they have to say about heaven.
