Not bad. 1411

Gastronomy, parties, sex, entertainment, music ... how our distant ancestors fully took advantage of the festivities and how the Church legislated and channeled the energies and excess that could be born? It is in this book. Play nice, always very interesting topic, I'm not particularly bothered me. The number of prohibitions regarding sex from the thirteenth century is quite impressionnnante and even excessive. Nowadays, there is much more forbidden and fell into the opposite extreme but I digress ...

I love when historians address very specific topics on a particular historical period such as travel, money, superstition, love, laughter ... or pleasure. John Verdon aptly written books on various topics, medieval period. It's not bad I think. At each take an interest in its work.
