As you may know, in the Bible, two accounts are found of the death of Judas. In one case, we find him hanging, in the other, we find him disembowled.
Now, in medieval thought, or so I have heard, the thought of avarice (Judas aqcuiring the gold of the priests) is linked to hanging, and this his hanging is thus, explanable.
However, it is his disembowlement that fascinates me. His disembowlement linked to treachery?
