Brunetto gets lost in the woods, speaks with Nature in her secret places, reaches the realm of Virtues, wanders into the flowery meadow of Love, from which he is delivered by Ovid. He confesses his sins to a friar and resolves to amend his life, after which he ascends Olympus and talks to Ptolemy.
Li Livres dou Tresor (The Book of the Treasure) is a mid-13th-century encyclopedic compendium written in Old French by Florentine politician and scholar Brunetto Latini. It is structured into three distinct books covering natural history and theology, ethics and Aristotle's philosophy, and rhetoric and civic governance. Oh, and it has a cat.

A Collection for your Enjoyment: St. Ignatius, Patron Saint of (checks notes) Throat Diseases ?!?
"I am writing to all the Churches and I enjoin all, that I am dying willingly for God's sake, if only you do not prevent it. I beg you, do not do me an untimely kindness. Allow me to be eaten by the beasts, which are my way of reaching to God. I am God's wheat, and I am to be ground by the teeth of wild beast, so that I may become the pure bread of Christ."
