medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
My memory's a bit rusty on the details, Paul et al, but might this be
derived from the "15 Tokens of Doomsday" tradition, which has Celtic
connections?
See:
Whitley Stokes, "The Fifteen Tokens of Doomsday," Revue celtique 28 (1907),
314-15
Thomas N. Hall, "Medieval Traditions about the Site of Judgment" Essays in
Medieval Studies 10 (2002)

The classic monograph: Heist, William W. The Fifteen Signs Before Doomsday.
East Lansing: Michigan State College P, 1952.
Adam Davy's 5 dreams about Edward II : The Life of St. Alexius. Solomon's
book of wisdom. St. Jeremie's [Jerome's] 15 tokens before doomsday. The
Lamentacion of souls (EETS)

Edward II," published proceedings from the Seventh Annual GES Conference)
