The Perfumed Garden is a sex manual written in erotic prose. It gives advice on bodily appearance, sexual technique, and also on the symptoms and remedies for sexual diseases. Al-Nafzawi also describes the sex of animals and interprets dreams. The advice and technical descriptions are interspersed with stories which should give the manual context and amuse the reader.

Edition Notes
Translation of previously unpublished portions of al-Rawḍ al-ʻāṭir fī nuzhat al-khāṭir.
"The Arabic text of the missing portion and the existing French and English translations overlap ... ; [there is] no cause for any suspicion that the two parts do not constitute a single work."
