Le Livre de la Vigne: Images of Hell in 15th-century France

In this essay, Chiara Franceschini discusses the extremely imaginative series of miniatures of hell and the Last Things as well as the complex relations between text and image in the Livre de la Vigne, Ms. Douce 134 from the Bodleian Library (1460 circa).
