CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS
[51-
judge, a great friend of St Stephen and his canons. He dreamt
before his death that he went to St Stephen’s church and as he
passed a married daughter’s house a flag was brought out to
meet him and accompanied him to the church. At his funeral
this was fulfilled, for the corpse of a little granddaughter was
brought out of the house, and buried in her grandfather’s grave
‘inter crura eius.’ This Jordanus had a son Peter, Prior of
Holy Trinity, London, who wrote this which he heard from
his father, in the year 1200, who also himself looks for the
kingdom of God ........
(A note, I think by Bale, calls attention to this.)
12. Visio eittsd. Ailsi de penis et gloria futuri seculi
The fourth son was called Paganus, for he was pagan till baptized
at twelve years, and soon after that, God called him away.
After his death his father began to think much about the next
life. A vision was vouchsafed to him: his son Paganus was
sent to show him the other world. He dreamt he was on the
way to Jerusalem and came down from some mountain into a
valley, which was full of a very dark cloud. Here he lost his
companions and after a period of wandering and shouting, his
dead son came to him. The elements of the vision are—hot
river, cold river, immense house full of torments—so far is Purga-
tory. On leaving the house he is to put his two hands into two
jars which stand on a board in a window near the exit. He
does, and they cling to his arms. They serve as shields against
the darts etc. thrown by.the demons as he flies on Pagan’s back
over the valley of hell. Then Paradise. He refuses to leave it.
Suddenly all vanishes. He had long been blind and remained
so till his death shortly after (see Coulton l.c.).
