1292. CONCERNING A DEEP HELL UNDER THE FEET There is a hell, which is that of the avaricious, that is under the feet, the worst part of which is under the left foot. Although it is deep and in a very low region it is not below the earth like the other referred to above [n. 1288]. A kind of smoke thence exhaled, not smoke alone, but a vapor such as frequently arises from skinned pigs which are put in a trough with hot water to take away their hair, which they do in some countries, as in Holland. Such was the smoky vapor that ascended.
