In virtue of the charm, the abundance, the variety of the citations, the book it is a priceless erotic Anthology; in virtue of the methodical classification of the contents Forberg has adopted, it is a didactic work, - a veritable Manual. He began with collecting from the Greek and Latin writers the largest number possible of scattered notices, which might serve for points of comparison with the Epigrams of Beccadelli ; having possessed himself of a large accumulation of these, it occurred to him to set them out in order, arranging them in conformity with the similarity of their contents, deciding finally upon a division into eight chapters. This is a reproduction of the book published in 1884. Images from "Monumens du culte secret des dames romaines" (1784)have been added.

A Taste of Honey provides a scholarly exposition on the prominent place that sexuality and erotology enjoyed in traditional Islam. The book is divided into two parts; part one presents a critical examination of sexual ethics and part two consists of a concise treatise on the art of seduction and lovemaking. The central aim of this book argues that Islam is a sexually enlightened religion which teaches that sensuality should not be devoid of spirituality. The book also argues that the loss of sacred sensuality afflicting modern society can be reclaimed by a revival of the classical erotological tradition. Drawing upon the Qur’ān, ĥadīth and traditional erotological literature, the book follows the style and composition of classical Eastern and Afro-Arab love texts such as the Kama Sutra and Jalāl ad-Dīn aś-Śuyūţī’s erotic treatises. A Taste of Honey is a thought-provoking work on a highly sensitive, yet extremely important subject.

An anthology of the writings of the ancient Greeks and Romans on a variety of erotic topics. First published in 1824 in Latin and Greek. Friedrich Karl Forberg, a German scholar with an interest in sexology, combed the classical authors and many of a later date for their reports on sexual phenomena. He gathered them together and classified them according to subject and discussed them in an objective manner. The industrious Forberg has quoted something like five hundred passages from more than one hundred and fifty writers, mostly Greek and Latin, explaining the most obscure erotic allusions in his scholarly commentary. The original Latin text is given with the translation and commentary.
