This study investigates the moral policies of both Church and State in the age of Counter-Reformation confessionalization in Venice. Examining ecclesiastical and civil lawsuits, the author shows how central sexual morality was to the patriarchal society of 16th- and 17th-century Venice.
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.
