Vision de l'ame de Guy de Thurno, La (legend, Aubert, 15th century)

Note: Latin text, translated into French by David Aubert, tells story of Guy de Thurno, who 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 that discusses Church doctrine on purgatory. Was considered a sister document to the Visio of Tondal.
