Abstract: (The trips to heaven and hell in the apocryphal literature of Slavia Orthodoxa and the Latin world) Although the Apocalypse of Paul (Visio Pauli) is the most widespread apocryphal text on visits to heaven and hell in the medieval Christian world, and exerts the deepest influence on the making of its eschatological thought, an influence whose final reflection can be felt in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, there are others, such as the Apocalypse of Abraham, the Apocalypse of Baruch, the Ascension of Isaiah, or the Apocalypse of the Virgin Mary, whose dissemination leaves traces of evidence both in the “Romania Europæa”, with Latin translations, mostly lost, although some are preserved, and in the “Slavia Orthodoxa”, of which Romania culturally was part until the nineteenth century. These pseudo-epigraphic texts feature motifs that in some cases date back to the remotest antiquity, and correspondences are also found in the Islamic tradition, which reflects a centuries-old network of influences in spite of religious, linguistic and political boundaries.
