- Description
- Surveys "the wide influence exerted by the Islamic eschatological narrative known as 'Mohamme's Ladder' on European literary production until the 17th century." Discusses the possibility that Chaucer knew the work, and assesses correspondences between the "Escada" and HF (also "Pearl" and "Paradise Lost"), perhaps mediated by Dante's "Commedia." In Portuguese,
with an abstract in English.
