Via a re-reading of Gordon Rattray Taylor‘s Freudian interpretation of history Sex in History (1954) chapter on Renaissance sexual morality, titled “Fay ce que vouldras” (“Do what thou wilt”, the motto from Rabelais) comes the work of Opicino de Canistris. With only 659 Google hits, this 13th century Italian writer appears to be a relative rarity. Canistris would have been a perfect entry for the late blog Il Giornale Nuovo.
