Summary

This is the first book to investigate systematically the roles of Church and State in stabilising moral order after the Catholic Reform. It focuses on Venice, examining how civil and ecclesiastical courts dealt with conflicts related to marriage and sex, in an effort to enforce their vision of a morally ordered society.
