medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thank you very much, Genevra! In case anyone is knocking him/herself out to find the reference I mentioned to Vincent Ferrer, please stop now! Peter Dronke,'The completeness of heaven', in Carolyn Muessig and Ad Putter, eds, Envisaging Heaven in the Middle Ages (London: Routledge, 2007) 44-56, notes an account of a 1391 sermon by Vincent Ferrer. Dealing with Judas, the preacher is reported to have said that Judas's soul went to Calvary and begged forgiveness of Jesus; this being received, Judas ascended into paradise with Jesus. Dronke's source is: H. Fages, Notes et documents de l’histoire de Saint Vincent Ferrier, Paris: A. Picard, 1905, p.95. Dronke also notes a relevant passage near the beginning of Chaucer's Parliament of Fowles. But if anyone knows of other late medieval sources, I'd be very grateful to know of them.
