Abstract

This volume rounds out an important trilogy of studies by Pierre Payer on the topic of sex in the ecclesiastical thought and writings of the middle ages. His first volume, Sex and the Penitentials: The Development of a Sexual Code, 550–1150 (1984), provided a comprehensive survey of the treatment of sexual issues in early penitential writings. The Bridling of Desire: Views of Sex in the Later Middle Ages (1993), his second book, carried the discussion forward into the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, assessing the contributions to the topic in the era of the great scholastic theologians, such as Aquinas, Bonaventure, and Albert the Great.
