520 "Same-sex marriage is a hotly debated topic in the United
States, and the world, today. From the tenor of most
discussions, however, it would be easy to conclude that
the idea of marriage between two people of the same sex is
a uniquely contemporary phenomenon. Not so, argues Gary
Ferguson in this remarkable book about a same-sex wedding
ceremony in sixteenth-century Rome. The case in question
involved a group of mostly Spanish and Portuguese men,
arrested and executed in Rome in 1578, said to have
performed same-sex wedding ceremonies in one of the city's
major churches. We know about the incident from a number
of sources, including the travel journal of the French
essayist Michel de Montaigne. Several substantial
fragments of the transcript of the men's trial have also
survived, along with copies of their wills. Making use of
all these documents, Ferguson brings the story to life in
striking detail. He reveals not only the names of the men
but also where they lived, how they were employed, and who
their friends were. In particular, he unearths a
surprising amount of detail about the men's sex lives, and
how others responded to this information, which allows him
to explore attitudes toward marriage, sex, and gender at
the time. Emphasizing the instability of marriage in
premodern Europe, Ferguson argues that same-sex unions
should be considered part of the institution's complex and
contested history"--Provided by publisher.
