Prostitution in the Medieval World is a scholarly book written by Leo Markun that examines the practice of prostitution in medieval Europe. The book delves into the social, cultural, and economic factors that influenced the development and regulation of prostitution during this time period. Markun explores the various types of prostitutes, from streetwalkers to high-class courtesans, and the roles they played in medieval society. He also examines the attitudes of the church and the state towards prostitution, and the laws and regulations that were put in place to control it. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including legal documents, literature, and art, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of this complex and often controversial subject. Ultimately, Prostitution in the Medieval World offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women and men who engaged in this profession, and sheds light on the broader social and cultural dynamics of medieval Europe.1926.
