In the mid-thirteenth century, the Dominican preacher Étienne de Bourbon compiled his vast Tractatus de diversis materiis predicabilibus at the convent of Lyon (c. 1250-1261).

One of its most striking passages appears in the first book, under the gift of Fear ( de dono timoris), in the seventh section devoted to the fear of particular judgement.
