Abstract
The question of purgatory in Pierre Viret's Alcumie du purgatoire, with its terrestrial and otherworldly reference points and an itinerary followed while traveling to it, was hotly debated by Protestants and Catholics in sixteenth-century Vaud. Viret's dialogue highlights opposing perspectives on purgatory, resulting tensions between the reformers' hope for converts, and an abiding Catholic resistance to conversion.
