Anne >I'm teaching a unit on Dante this year, and am struck by (among other >things) his placement of traitors in the lowest area of Hell. I wonder >if anyone knows of either a scholarly study of treachery/treason >(either as sin or as illegal act) in medieval Europe, or even of a >simple shopping list of punishments that different political entities >would inflict upon those they found guilty of treachery. >Many thanks to all, George Ferzoco ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
