Hell as a Geological Construct

Abstract

Of the twelfth-century accounts in Anglo-Norman of the punishments imposed upon sinners, this paper intends to discuss two: the first is Benedeit’s Le Voyage de Saint Brendan, and the second, Marie de France’s L’Espurgatoire seint Patriz. In particular, it will look at likely geological features of the locations of hell and purgatoryas described in the two texts.
