What the "Kama Sutra" did for Hindu culture, "The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delights" did for Arabia. Victorian adventurer and sexologist Richard Burton translated and significantly embroidered them both. A handbook to sex for married men of medieval Tunisia, this "pillow book" edition features 60 full-color illustrations. Written in the late 15th-century, it's one of the first works of erotic literature.
