Visions of the end : apocalyptic traditions in the Middle Ages

From millenarists to Antichrist hunters, from the Sibyls to the Hussites, Visions of the End is a monumental compendium spanning the literature of the Christian apocalyptic tradition from the period A.D. 400 to 1500, masterfully selected and complete with a comprehensive introduction and new preface. Despite the attacks of Augustine and the indifference of others,apocalypticism did not die out at the end of the fourth century; rather, the year 400 may be taken as a decisive turning point in the history of apocalyptic traditions.
