Summary "Glossarium eroticum linguae Latinae" by P. Pierrugues is a specialized lexicon written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive glossary focused on erotic and sexual vocabulary in the Latin language, providing insightful commentary on Roman customs, marriage laws, and various forms of erotic expression. It aims to enable readers to better understand literary and ethical texts from antiquity as well as the evolving meanings of terms associated with love and desire. The opening of the work outlines the author's intent in creating this glossary, emphasizing the lack of a focused lexicon on erotic terms in Latin literature. It presents a brief discussion on the historical approaches to writing about erotic matters in Roman times, highlighting a shift from direct language to metaphorical expressions as societal norms changed. Additionally, the text introduces a variety of terms that will be explained later, illustrating the scope of the glossary which encompasses definitions, etymologies, and contextual examples from classical literature to enrich the reader’s understanding of Latin erotic expressions.
