Author: Michael Rocke
The men of Renaissance Florence were so renowned for sodomy that "Florenzer" in German meant "sodomite". In this richly documented book, scholar Michael Rocke vividly depicts this vibrant sexual culture in a world where these same-sex acts were not seen as the deviant transgressions of a small minority, but as an integral part of a normal masculine identity. Illustrations.
