We refer to the Portuguese versions of the XIV-XV centuries this work, we intend to analyze the ideological discourse of the Catholic Church on the spaces of the underworld (Hell, Purgatory and Paradise) in an attempt to strengthen its role in the medieval world. Thus, the problem that motivates this research is grounded in the Christian ideology and the imaginary spaces of the Grave Beyond the oratores so widespread in the Middle Ages, which certainly contributed to the process of Christian evangelization. And to understand the power range of this institution in the social life of the people in Middle Ages are worth the evidence offered in the Vision of Tnugdal that guide us in this proposed research topic.
