The contribution focuses on the vast Fortleben of the Voie d’Enfer et de Paradis by Pierre de l’Hôpital (1315-1336) and sheds light on the dynamics of transmission and re-adaptation in which the text was involved during the fourteenth century. On the basis of new elements derived from a contrastive analysis, the study aims firstly at confirming the hypothesis, supported by S. Menegaldo, of the filiation of Jean de Le Mote’s allegorical voyage (1340) from Pierre de l’Hôpital’s homonymous poem. Secondly, the paper traces as exhaustively as possible the processes of spectacularization and staging implemented in the text by its anonymous rewritings, namely the Songe de la voie d’enfer et de la voie de paradis (of which an approximate dating is also proposed) and the Speculum mondialle morality play.

Abstract
The contribution focuses on the vast Fortleben of the Voie d’Enfer et de Paradis by Pierre de l’Hôpital (1315-1336) and sheds light on the dynamics of transmission and re-adaptation in which the text was involved during the fourteenth century. On the basis of new elements derived from a contrastive analysis, the study aims firstly at confirming the hypothesis, supported by S. Menegaldo, of the filiation of Jean de Le Mote’s allegorical voyage (1340) from Pierre de l’Hôpital’s homonymous poem. Secondly, the paper traces as exhaustively as possible the processes of spectacularization and staging implemented in the text by its anonymous rewritings, namely the Songe de la voie d’enfer et de la voie de paradis (of which an approximate dating is also proposed) and the Speculum mondialle morality play.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
