Note 1066 — Chapter VIII · RISE OF ECCLESIASTICAL MARRIAGE: THE CHURCH DEVELOPS AND ADMINISTERS MATRIMONIAL LAW
Reading edition
Esmein, op. cit., I, 83. Esmein traces the origin of this doctrine of the canonists in part to the influence of the "popular" or "naturalistic" view of marriage; in part to certain texts of the Old and New Testament (particularly Gen. 2:23, 24; 1 Cor. 16:16): and in part to the conception of marriage as a remedy for concupiscence: op. cit., 83, 84, 97 ff. Cf. Pollock and Maitland, op. cit., II, 367 n. 1; Freisen, op. cit., 173.
