The Forge of Vulcan; Les Visions du chevalier Tondal, 1475. Additional Info:In the Valley of Fire, demons seize Tondal's soul and throw it into a blazing forge. Here demons cook sinners' souls and then pound them into a fiery mass with anvils. As before, the angel rescues Tondal's soul after much torment and asks him if the "delights and pleasures of the flesh" he enjoyed on earth were worth the punishment delivered in hell. Tondal, however, is so weak he cannot utter a word.
