The Peregrinations of the Soul in the Afterlife is a highly original text on Christian philosophy concerning the possible directions the human soul can take after death. The vocabulary and sources strongly suggest that the work was written in the circle of Dominicus Gundissalinus in the late twelfth century, and could therefore have been written in Toledo in the milieu of Marcus of Toledo. Its intelligent blend of Arabic philosophical texts (largely translated by Gundissalinus and his team) and Christian theological references make it well worth further study, which can be facilitated by the new edition and English translation provided in this article.

Abstract
The Peregrinations of the Soul in the Afterlife is a highly original text on Christian philosophy concerning the possible directions the human soul can take after death. The vocabulary and sources strongly suggest that the work was written in the circle of Dominicus Gundissalinus in the late twelfth century, and could therefore have been written in Toledo in the milieu of Marcus of Toledo. Its intelligent blend of Arabic philosophical texts (largely translated by Gundissalinus and his team) and Christian theological references make it well worth further study, which can be facilitated by the new edition and English translation provided in this article.Pubblicazioni consigliate
