Liber di Tre Scricciur

The (; originally spelled ; "Book of the Three Scriptures") is a 1274 epic poem by Bonvesin da la Riva () written in the Lombard language. The poem is an imaginative vision of the afterlife, divided into three books or "scriptures": one about Hell (, "Black Scripture"), one about the Passion of Christ (, "Red Scripture") and one about Heaven (, "Golden Scripture"). It is composed of quatrains with only one rhyme. With this poem Bonvesin takes a distinguished place among the precursors of Dante. The book is constructed with skill and symmetry, and deserves the attention of Dante scholars.
