What it is
An Irish knight is taken through hell and purgatory by his guardian angel and shown, in graphic detail, the punishment fitted to each of his own sins.
Why it lasted
The most widely circulated otherworld vision before Dante, translated into fifteen languages and printed repeatedly in the incunable period.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
