Inhaltsangabe:

At the core of this study of Renaissance Florence is the seventy year history of the Office of the Night, created in 1432 to police sexual behavior in Florence. In documenting their history, Rocke provides a vivid portrait of a culture in which sodomy was an accepted characteristic of masculine identity. As acceptance turned to repression, Rocke details the concurrent changes in public attitudes and private practices.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Michael Rocke is the Nicky Mariano Librarian of the Biblioteca Berenson at Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, in Florence.
