Aristotle's works: Containing the Master-piece, Directions for Midwives, and Counsel and Advice to Child-bearing Women with Various Useful Remedies
"Aristotle's works" by a pseudo-Aristotle is a sex manual and midwifery book first published in 1684. Falsely attributed to the ancient philosopher, this anonymous work became one of early modern England's most widely reprinted medical texts. It frankly addresses topics from sexual pleasure and anatomy to pregnancy and childbirth, acknowledging women's sexuality in ways later centuries would suppress. Based on outdated humoral theory, it remained in print into the twentieth century, offering intimate guidance to generations of readers.
