Options For The Poor In Twelfth And Thirteenth-Century Europe, Thomas W. O'Brien
Options For The Poor In Twelfth And Thirteenth-Century Europe, Thomas W. O'Brien
Thomas W O'Brien

The results contradict many preconceptions, and a remarkable similarity is demonstrated between the gay/lesbian responses and those of the control …
