Back Julius vor der verschlossenen Himmelstür German Julius : Dialogue entre Saint Pierre et le pape Jules II à la porte du paradis French Iulius exclusus e coelis Galician Iulius exclusus e coelis Latin
Julius Excluded from Heaven (Latin: Iulius exclusus e coelis, IE) is a dialogue that was written in 1514, commonly attributed to the Dutch humanist and theologian Desiderius Erasmus. It involves Pope Julius II, who died a year earlier, trying to persuade Saint Peter to allow him to enter Heaven by using the same tactics he applied when alive. The dialogue is also supplemented by a "Genius" (his guardian angel) who makes wry comments about the pope and his deeds.
