Affectionate Authorities: Fathers and Fatherly Roles in Late Medieval Basel
Philip Grace
In one of his sermons, the medieval preacher Bernardino of Siena listed seven 'fathers' to whom one owed obedience: God, one's natural father, godfather, confessor, benefactor, a government official, and any elderly man. This book seeks to answer the question of why medieval Europeans saw the need for so many 'fathers.'
Includes 4 b&w illustrations
