Handbook of Medieval Sexuality | Vern L. Bullough, James Brundage

We all know the victorians is why we can't have nice things, so it's a little jarring when 60s historians praise their horror show (in a quote).
"I admire the 19th century West's success in postponing the age of sexual awakening, sexual experience, and sexual infatuation far beyond the age of puberty. You may tell me that this is against human nature; but to be human lies precisely in transcending nature..."
Again, why we can't have nice things.

Bonaventure | Christopher M. Cullen

pick

Pocket Bonaventure(not in database)is a thought-provoking look at the philosophy & spirituality of the Italian saint. I attended many classes by author Father Tom, a Franciscan Friar who made the lives of saints such as Bonaventure, Francis of Assisi & Thomas Aquinas very relatable in their struggles to understand God and the meaning of life. Tom loved his chihuahuas and also painted all the mesmerizing illustrations.
