MOLINA, Fernanda. Artifices Games: Legal Practices and Judicial Strategies against the Phenomenon of Sodomy in Modern Spain. Prohistoria [online]. 2015, vol.24, pp.43-68. ISSN 1851-9504.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, female sodomy was a matter of difficult treatment. While some authors raised that women could not be subjects of that crime, others argued that they could be it, but for this the intercourse had to be developed under certain conditions. Based on the analysis of legal, medical and theological treaties that approached to the subject during the period as well as some legal proceedings followed against women accused of having committed the crime of sodomy, this work intends to inquire into the legal practice of officials responsible for the administration of justice as well as the accused woman in order to reveal what conceptions prevailed in the treatment of crime
