Scope and content
Refers to anecdotes about self enslavement which make it sound like slavery could be stepped in and out of following a simple cash transaction. Recounts one tale of an Egyptian monk, called Serapion of the Girdle, who progressed through a series of self-enslavements for religious motivations.
