In this vivid, scholarly study of sex roles, gender and the place of homosexuality in Florentine society of the 15th and 16th centuries, Rocke draws heavily on the records of the Office of the Night, a special force put into place to fight male-male sexuality (and who made an impressive number of arrests).
