About: Mancuerda

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Mancuerda was a method of torture. A tight cord was wound around the arms of the condemned. The executioner would then throw his entire weight backwards, or the pressure would be exerted by a lever. The cord cut through skin and muscle directly to the bone. Additional pain was produced by the fact that the body of the prisoner was stretched as in a rack, and the belt or girdle attached to the waist also contributed further to the suffering. The procedure was repeated six or eight times, on different parts of the arms. People subjected to such torture usually fainted from its effects.

dbo:abstract
  • La mancuerda fue un método de tortura en el que con una fina cuerda ligada alrededor de uno de los brazos de la víctima, el ejecutor tiraba con su mismo peso o con el uso de una palanca cortando la piel y llegando al hueso. En el tiempo de su aplicación, se creaba una especie de competencia entre los verdugos a ver quién era capaz de llevar esta tortura a su máximo exponente, pero sin matar a la víctima. En la mayoría de los casos, los individuos castigados se desvanecían del dolor. (es)

Giovanni II Bentivoglio, tyrant of Bologna, is said to have subjected the astrologer Luca Gaurico to this method of torture after he was unhappy with a prediction that Gaurico had made. (en)
  • La mancuerda è stato un metodo di tortura, che consisteva nel legare il condannato per le braccia con una corda stretta, che veniva tirata o da un carnefice buttando il proprio peso all'indietro o tramite l'azione di una leva. La corda, per la pressione esercitata e lo sfregamento, tagliava sia la pelle che le carni, arrivando fino alle ossa. Il dolore era amplificato dal fatto che il corpo del prigioniero era disteso su una ruota, una sorta di cremagliera, a cui era attaccato per la cintura. La procedura veniva ripetuta dalle sei alle otto volte, su diverse parti delle braccia. Le persone sottoposte a tali torture in genere svenivano per il dolore. Giovanni II Bentivoglio, tiranno di Bologna, si dice che avesse sottoposto Luca Gaurico a questo metodo di tortura per non aver apprezzato una previsione fattagli dal celebre astrologo. (it)
