Or, better, Purgatory. In an octavo collection at the Bibliothèque Mazarine, there is a little book entitled: 'Le Purgatoire prouvé par la parole de Dieu' (octavo; Paris, Denis Basset, 1600), in which this engraving, signed with the Lorraine cross, appears twice; it represents a nude man standing in the flames, with this legend in a scroll: 'Constitvas mihi tenrvs' (tempvs?) 'in qvo recorderis mei.'
