Title:
Genre Hopping: Aristotelian Criteria for Abortion in Germania [The author traces Aristotle's ideas on abortion through a chain of early medieval texts including law codes, penitentials, and sermons. She argues that Aristotle was part of a more tolerant view which ran counter to the view that opposed abortion and all other forms of fertility control. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
