medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A possible solution to the problem: the PL text of the
Ambrose passage has _ludere_ oculis (presumably = 'to cast
wanton glances'?): 'An quidquam est tam pronum ad
libidines, quam inconditis motibus ea quae vel natura
abscondit, vel disciplina velavit, membrorum operta nudare,
ludere oculis, rotare cervicem, comam spargere?' (Ambrose
of Milan, _De Virginibus Bk 3, ch. 6, sec. 27).
