La Vision de l'âme de Guy de Thurno (illuminated manuscript; David Aubert, scribe, and Simon Marmion, illuminator; 1475)

Note: 34 folios + 4 flyleaves, 1 two-column miniature. The Vision of the Soul of Guy de Thurno is a French translation of a Latin text that discusses Church doctrine on purgatory (in French, the title is La Vision de l'ame de Guy de Thurno). Guy de Thurno was a wealthy citizen of Verona who died and then returned to earth in spirit form to haunt his widowed spouse. She turns to a local priest for help, and a dialogue between the priest and the ghost on the nature of the afterlife results.
