>> me now for several weeks: from at least the twelfth century onwards
>> natural philosophers and later medicins discuss the idea of a female
>> contribution to conception, be it in the form of sperm or some other
>> material. Many of these even conflicting ideas have in common that they
>> see the woman’s active consent (mostly in terms of “lust”) as obligatory
>> for conception.
>> Now, how does this go along with the idea of Mary’s immaculate
>> conception and the debate over her perpetual virginity? This question
>> certainly goes beyond the integrity of the hymen when theories of
>> conceptions are concerned, especially when it comes to the immaculate
>> conception.
>> I wonder whether there are discussions between medieval theologians
>> where arguments and questions of theology and medical theory meet in
>> this respect? I strongly suspect there must be. Still surprisingly, I
>> hardly found any. But that might certainly be my fault. John Bugge, for
>> instance, who devotes an appendix to his fine study on “Virginitas”
>> (1975) to Mary’s immaculate conception, does not mention anything
>> either. Does, by any chance, anyone of you know the one or other example
>> or could point me at some eminent study that I might have overlooked?
