Summary/Abstract: Essay about the different appraisals of polygamy througout the History of law, based on findings in the Old Testament saying that the fathers' code of practice allowed polygamy. How did theologists and jurists of the ancient world and during the Middle Ages deal with this "biblical tradition" and its contradiction to Christian concept of matrimony?
