1. âHere you have your excellent chicken, pigeons, cured ham, and sausage.â Transliterated into modern Italian, the menu itemsâfamiliar to any present-day traveler in Italy or any frequenter of Italian restaurantsâwould read: pollastri, piccioni, prosciutto, salcicie.
2. Before the reforms instituted by the Council of Trent, which imposed, among other modifications to the sacrament of marriage, a stricter certification of wedlock, Catholic doctrine determined that matrimony was principally defined by the mutual consent of the partners. Pushed to its extreme, as it often was in literature, and with some frequency in real life, this consensual definition of marriage emphasized that a matrimonial bond was created from the moment the partners exchanged vows. Sexual intercourse between them consummated the relationship. Parental permission and the ceremonial involvement of the Church were preferable but not essential. Under such circumstances, betrothalâminimally defined as the exchange of vows, with or without witnesses or the benefit of clergyâwas tantamount to marriage, especially if doubly confirmed by sexual relations between the partners. Hence the frequent legal and literary theme of elopement and secret marriage in certain popular genres, like the chivalric romances. See Introduction: Generalities, âHistorical and Cultural Backgroundâ: Brundage (325â27; 331â46) and Harney (112â17).
