Standard Christian eutopia. Very similar to 1516 More. Emphasis on the hierarchical nature of society and the responsibility of the superior for the inferior. Very strong concern with the purity and obedience of women. Stresses quick and sure punishment as the means of social control. Siuqila = Aliquis = Anyone. Mauqsun = Nusquam = Nowhere.
