This is the first edition of an infamous sex manual that claimed Aristotle as its author. The frontispiece shows, according to the description, “The Effigies of a Maid all Hairy, and an Infant that was born black, by the imagination of the Parents.” It claimed all characteristics were a result of something the mother saw or thought during conception and pregnancy.
