Summary/Abstract: Gaudenty Pikulski was a theologian and historian, author of a compendium on world history, in which the story of the creation of Adam and Eve inspired him to reflect on the relationship between men and women. Drawing on the authority of moderntheologians, Pikulski obtained evidence for the submission of women to men, based on Eve’s creation from Adam’s rib. Pikulski’s argument is critical of his contemporary morals, in which women attempted to take a place that was equal to men. Pikulski traces thebeginnings of the breach in the God-given natural order back to antiquity.
