About “Liber di tre scricciur”

The Liber di Tre Scricciur is a 1274 epic poem by Bonvesin da la Riva written in the Lombard language. It presents an imaginative vision of the afterlife, divided into three parts: one about Hell, one about the Passion of Christ, and one about Heaven. The poem is composed of quatrains with a single rhyme in each. It is considered a significant work that places Bonvesin among the precursors of Dante. The structure of the poem is skillfully crafted and symmetrically arranged, making it a work that deserves attention from scholars of Dante. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
