medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There is an article concentrating on the topic from the philosophical
point of view:
Csaba Nemeth, "Memorem quidem se esse, sed exprimere nullo modo posse quod
viderat: Hugh of St. Victor and the Recollections of a Medieval Suicide,"
in The Strategies of Remembrance: From Pindar to Hölderlin (Newcastle upon
Tyne: Cambrisge Scholars Publishing, 2009), 195-210.

> An MA student asked me if I knew of any specific texts, collections of
> texts, or secondary sources that recount medieval out-of-body experiences
> or journeys of the soul (but not just dreams and visions). He knows of
> the story of the English peasant Thurkill's trip to hell and the brief
> story in the _Golden Legend_ of the woman led in spirit to Jerusalem by
> Mary Magdalene. I can think of a few brief anecdotes here and
> there--e.g., a young girl taken to heaven and hell by St. Catherine
> mentioned in the miracles of Thomas Becket--and there may be some others
> in Gardiner's _Visions of Heaven and Hell Before Dante_.
>
> Can anyone think of other sources or studies?
