Note 144 — PART II THE DIVINE COMEDY COMPARED WITH OTHER MOSLEM LEGENDS ON THE AFTER-LIFE
Harold Sunderland translation
Cf. Petavius, Dogm. Theolog. IV (Pars sec.) lib. 3, cap. 18, § 5. The texts Ducange refers to in his Glossarium (s.v.) are later than the twelfth century. St. Thomas in the Summa theologica (pars 3, q. 52) calls the limbo of the Patriarchs infernus and sinus Abrahae, but in the Supplementum tertiae partis (q. 69) he already adopts the name limbus.
