The Bride of Christ Goes to Hell: Metaphor and Embodiment in the Lives of Pious Women, 200-1500
ISBN: 9780812243581 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780812216653 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

They feared that their corporeal frailty left them susceptible to demonic forces bent on penetrating and polluting their bodies and souls. Drawing on a variety of canonical and other sources, "Fallen Bodies" examines a wide-ranging set of issues generated by fears of pollution, sexuality, and demonology. To maintain their purity, celibate clerics combated the stain of nocturnal emissions; married clerics expelled their wives onto the...
