The Liber di Tre Scricciur (pronounced [ˈliːber di ˈtrɛ skriˈtʃyːr]; originally spelled Libro dre Tre Scrigiure; "Book of the Three Scriptures") is a 1274 epic poem by Bonvesin da la Riva (c. 1240–1313) written in the Lombard language. The poem is an imaginative vision of the afterlife, divided into three books or "scriptures": one about Hell (Scricciura Negra, "Black Scripture"), one about the Passion of Christ (Scricciura Rossa, "Red Scripture") and one about Heaven (Scricciura Dorada, "Golden Scripture"). It is composed of quatrains with only one rhyme.[1][2]
