CII. Poena homicidarum ex ignorantia.

CII. Poena homicidarum ex ignorantia.

But I saw a fiery air, stirred by a certain wind here and there, and in this air were those who had committed murder through ignorance, and they regarded that as nothing. Because they had committed homicide in ignorance, they were in a fiery atmosphere; and because they had treated this lightly, they were suffering the torment of the same wind.

Read the original Latin

Sed et vidi queradara igneura aerera, qui a quodam vento hac et illac coramovebatur, et in isto aniraae iliorura erant, qui per ignorantiara horaicidiura fecerant, et illud pro nihilo habuerant.

Quia enira horaicidio aerera contarainaverant, in igneo aere fuerunt; et quia hoc parvipenderant, coraraotionem ejusdem venti patiebantur.
