Aristotle's Masterpiece

Pseudo-Aristotle

The "Aristotle's Masterpiece" is a book that was popular in England from the early modern period up until the 19th century. It is a sex manual and midwifery book that provides information about sexual reproduction and childbirth. The book was first published in 1684 and was falsely attributed to Aristotle, a famous philosopher. As a result, the author is now referred to as Pseudo-Aristotle. The book was banned in Britain, likely due to its explicit content. Even though it was not actually written by Aristotle, it remains an important historical text that offers insight into attitudes towards sex and childbirth during that time period.
