Summary "Dictionnaire érotique Latin-Français" by Nicolas Blondeau is a specialized reference work written in the late 17th century. This dictionary serves as a resource for readers seeking to understand Latin erotic literature, compiling various lewd Latin terms and phrases alongside their French interpretations. It focuses on the linguistic aspects of eroticism, making it a notable contribution to studies in historical linguistics and literature. The opening of the book introduces the editor Isidore Liseux, who outlines the context in which the dictionary was produced, discussing its original manuscript by Blondeau and its posthumous publication. Liseux reflects on his previous works and the challenges faced in presenting erotic literature, characterized by its use of euphemisms and metaphorical language. Furthermore, he emphasizes the unique importance of this dictionary, blending historical insights and commentary to enhance the reader's understanding of the erotic language and the cultural attitudes surrounding it.
