medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Katja, Here are some bibliographic suggestions on your question. Most deal with Dante and later; the first 2 references are general surveys which will have some discussion of the early period and the next 2 (as I recall) offer summaries of Patristic teaching on the topic. The only mention that I am aware of with an Irish connection is from the very beginning of the Acallam na Senorach (recently trans. into Eng. by Dooley and Roe) where Patrick meets and baptizes some of the old Fenian heroes. I'd be most interested to hear anything you've found about the early medieval period on this subject. Regards, Jess Paehlke Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Ángel Santos Hernández.
