Abstract
This is an exhaustive collection of the extensive extant literature about the religious subject of man's final stages. The enormous quantity of manuscript works published in Europe from the 16th to the 19th century, a lot of them preserved in the Vatican Library, offer a wide range of mental conceptions, interests in salvation, visions of the next world, and the "aids" to "die properly" prevailing in the Ancien Regime.
