Tom Izbicki From: "George FERZOCO" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2011 8:16:40 PM Subject: [M-R] treachery in the Middle Ages medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear medieval-religion colleagues, 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 -- George Ferzoco, University of Bristol [log in to unmask] ********************************************************************** 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 ********************************************************************** 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
