About This Book
The volume presents a Latin-to-French lexicon of erotic vocabulary, pairing Latin lemmas with French equivalents, paraphrases, and usage notes drawn from manuscript compilations. Entries are illustrated by citations from classical and later authors and often accompanied by editorial commentary on meaning, usage, and variant readings. Prefatory material recounts the manuscript provenance and the editor's aims, while appended notes and proposed supplements address related priapic poems and facetious Latin compositions. The work serves as a practical glossary for reading sexual language in Latin literature and as a scholarly compilation of annotations and textual references.
