CHAPTER FOUR
Feud, Vendetta, and the End of Exile
You will award life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stroke for stroke.
—EXODUS 21:23–25
You have heard how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I say this to you: Offer no resistance to the wicked. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right check, offer him the other as well.
—MATTHEW 5:38–39
Just as contraries are cured by contraries by the physician, thus both in feud and vendetta and in other matters contraries are accustomed to be cured by contraries.
—ALBERTANUS DE BRESCIA, LIBER CONSOLATIONIS ET CONCILII1
