Quella che noi oggi contempliamo come sessualità, intesa quale insieme di comportamenti che riguardano la sfera sessuale, in età medievale era conosciuta ed esaminata molto marginalmente, se non addirittura ignorata in tanti suoi aspetti. Si tratta di atteggiamenti complessi, biologici, psicologici, sociali e culturali, correttamente affrontati e investigati solo a partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo. Avvalendosi del "De coitu" di Costantino Africano, riportato e commentato, l’autore coglie l’occasione per una panoramica sull’argomento, tracciando un excursus che va dal medioevo ai giorni nostri e rimarcando in particolare i presupposti dottrinali in auge nell’età medievale. Il lavoro è arricchito da un’appendice relativa alla botanica farmaceutica in corso nei trattamenti terapeutici dell’epoca. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… What we today contemplate as sexuality, understood as a set of behaviors concerning the sexual sphere, in the Middle Ages was known and examined very marginally, if not even ignored in many of its aspects. These are complex, biological, psychological, social and cultural attitudes, correctly addressed and investigated only starting from the second half of the nineteenth century. Using the "De coitu" by Constantine African, reported and commented, the author takes the opportunity for an overview on the subject, tracing an excursus that goes from the Middle Ages to the present day and emphasizing in particular the doctrinal assumptions in vogue in the Middle Ages. The work is enriched by an appendix relating to pharmaceutical botany in progress in the therapeutic treatments of the time.]
