Marriage, the Church, and Its Judges in Renaissance Venice, 1420–1545. Cecilia Cristellon. Early Modern History: Society and Culture. London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017. xviii + 286 pp. $109.99
The resulting flow of cases for breach of promise or alleged marriage that reached the bishops’ tribunals prompted theologians at the Council of Trent in 1563 to establish a prescribed praxis, and Trent thus became a watershed in the history of marital law. [...]the sixth and last chapter offers a quantitative analysis of the 706 cases of marital conflict. Of the 133 annulment cases, 85 women were plaintiffs, as opposed to 47 men, while for the 118 separation petitions 72 were from men who primarily wanted to reinstate cohabitation, while 46 were from women for various reasons.
