The Works of Aristotle the Famous Philosopher

More about the book

This work serves as both a sex manual and a midwifery guide, gaining popularity in England from the early modern period to the 19th century. First published in 1684, it was attributed to an unknown author who falsely claimed to be Aristotle, leading to the term Pseudo-Aristotle for such misleading authors. The book faced scrutiny and was reportedly avoided by reputable publishers due to potential obscenity concerns following the 1857 Obscene Publications Act, despite claims of being banned until the 1960s.
