- Double-weighted statement
- This book, which took several years to research and write, ranges widely across the European history of abortion before 1000. The core primary source base, which consists of largely untranslated Latin texts, extends across four centuries, multiple post-Roman contexts, from Spain to Ireland, and multiple genres (e.g. sermons, confessors' manuals, theology, saints’ lives, secular law-codes). The book is not responding to an established field of inquiry, but collates and analyses material that has never been brought together before at this scale.
