"Manual of Classical Erotology (De figuris Veneris)" by Friedrich Karl Forberg is a scholarly anthology published in 1824. This Latin and Greek work compiles and classifies ancient Greek and Roman writings on erotic topics, organizing them objectively by subject matter. Originally published as commentary to a fifteenth-century Renaissance poem, it was later translated into multiple languages and circulated among restricted audiences. The work became notable for its academic approach to documenting historical attitudes toward human sexuality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
