Marriage Wars in Late Renaissance Venice - Ferraro, Joanne M. (Professor of History, Professor of History, San Diego State University)

Based on archival literature, 'Marriage Wars in Late Renaissance Venice' brings to life the voices of ordinary Venetians and opens up their world of intimacy and conflict, sexuality, and living arrangements. Ferraro examines the scripts that spouses brought to the city's ecclesiastical court in order to annul their vows or achieve legal separation.
