This paper analyzes the temporal and spatial dimensions of the work of Ramon de Perellós referred to his journey to Saint Patrick’s Purgatory. Firstly, real, and imaginary-marvellous spheres are studied by separated to detach its meanings. Afterwards its contents are synthesized to obtain a panoramic view. Finally, these ideas are extrapolated to its historical context. By doing so, some conclusions are developed with the aim of connecting this work with the general transformations that take place in the Christian society of the medieval Western Europe.
