KONCEPT PROSTORA I VREMENA U SREDNJOVJEKOVNIM VIZIJAMA NA PRIMJERU TUNDALOVE VIZIJE
THE CONCEPT OF TIME AND SPACE IN MEDIEVAL VISIONS IN TUNDAL’S VISION

Summary/Abstract: There is a noticeable spatialisation of time present in the visionary texts dealing with the concept of the otherworld. Past, present and future are allocated and closely related. In medieval prose, space and time can be either strictly determined or completely ignored and unimportant. Only the happening itself is important, since it contains the eternal and the otherworldly. We can fi nd both aspects in Tundal’s Vision. Despite the fact that Tundal’s Vision is thought to be one of the most developed and elaborated visions, it is noticeable how the organisation of the otherworld regions has not progressed in the way found in earlier visions. The idea of the otherworld’s integrity does not exist. Only the time and the space of the narrative can be fi rmly established in the text.
