Flaying in the Pre-modern World is written by Larissa Tracy and published by Boydell & Brewer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1843844524 (ISBN 10) and 9781843844525 (ISBN 13).
From images of Saint Bartholomew holding his skin in his arms, to scenes of execution in Havelok the Dane, to laws that prescribed it as a punishment for treason, this volume explores the idea and the reality of skin removal - flaying - in the Middle Ages. It interrogates the connection between reality and imagination in depictions of literal skin removal, rather than figurative or theoretical interpretations of flaying, and offers a multilayered view of medieval and early modern perceptions of flaying and its representations in European culture.
