Guillaume de Digulleville (1295-after 1380). A monk in the Cistercian abbey of Chaalis, Digulleville composed three long allegorical poems in octosyllabic couplets: Le Pelerinage de vie humaine (c.1330-1), which survives in two redactions and describes the moral life of the soul; Le Pelerinage de l'ame (c.1355-8), describing the soul's experiences in the afterlife; and Le Pelerinage de Jhesucrist (c.1358), recounting the life of Christ. His works were widely read and were translated into Dutch, German, English, and Spanish.
