Product Details

translated by Dionisio Pérez and published in Paris, 1905. Printed in Mayenne by Imprimerie Ch. Colin. 344 pages with anatomical illustrations and plates, including detailed reproductive diagrams and medical engravings. Topics include male impotence, female sterility, pregnancy, legitimacy of children, eunuchs, and even discussions of incubi and succubi within early medical theory. A fascinating blend of pre-modern medical science and moral philosophy, originally derived from a 17th-century French physician’s treatise on marriage and procreation. By 1905, it remained both educational and quietly provocative. Condition: Age toning and foxing consistent with age. Binding intact. Plates present. Please review photos for condition specifics. An excellent addition for collectors of medical history, anatomical illustration, dark academia libraries, and cabinet-of-curiosity bookcases.
