Literature

Limbus Fatuorum The Limbus of Fools, or Fool's Paradise. As fools are not responsible for their works, they are not punished in Purgatory, but cannot be received into Heaven; se they go to a place called the Paradise of Fools.
"Then might you see
Cowls, hoods, and habits, with their wearers
Tossed
And fluttered into rags; then relics, beads,
Indulgences, dispenses, pardons, bulls,
The sport of winds. All these, upwhirled aloft,
Into a Limbo large and broad, since called
The Paradise of Fools."
Milton: Paradise Lost, book iii. 489-95.
One cannot wonder that Milton's great poem was placed by the Catholics in the Index of books forbidden. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
