“Maior é a misericórdia de Deus que a tua maldade” : uma análise sobre a Visão de Túndalo e a transformação de um cavaleiro pecador num cristão ideal

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the manuscript of the Vision of Tundal with emphasis on the process of transformation of the knight Tundal in which his evil comes into contrast with divine mercy, this noble knight is led by a guardian angel and for three days he passes through the spaces from Beyond the Grave: Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. This primary source is the result of this work's late 14th and early 15th century period and is a privileged source for understanding the imagery of the period and what the Papal Church aimed to transmit to the Middle Ages. The authors who will provide a theoretical basis with the aim of understanding the logic of the Medieval Beyond and what the church wanted to convey, specifically, and the context of production of the Tundal Vision are: Le Goff (2017), Schmitt (2006), Baschet (2006). , 2017), among other referenced authors. The methodology used was a bibliographic study on the concepts and documentary analysis of the Portuguese translation of the Vision of Tundal manuscript (244).
