Above all, the combination of traditional and innovative attitudes makes his views on family life, conjugal responsibilities, marital jealousy, spousal abuse, and the education of children interesting to a modern audience. His opinions are far from typical for the fifteenth century, and many of his ideas represent exceptional rather than mainstream tendencies.
