From the publisher

Clever Little Books explores the role of Latin commentaries on the Roman poet Martial as a medium for the transmission of sexual knowledge among male elites in early modern Europe. Valued for its wit and concision, Martial's sometimes shocking poetry was highly regarded in early modern humanist culture, and editions with detailed scholarly commentary circulated widely.
