Although this tradition of virginity literature is not the only source of the material used in Hali Meidhad, the author's debt to it is extensive. Many of the ideas he uses were the common property of patristic and medieval writers on virginity, and obscure passages in his argument are often made clearer by a study of earlier treatments of the same theme. Includes passages on The Two Cities; Life of Angels; marriage and Sexuality; The Three States; The Bride of Christ. 0197222862 $20.00USD
