Homosexuality. Anecdotes for use in the Secret History of the Ebugors. A Medoso [anagram of Sodome], sn, L'an de l'Ere des Ebugors MMMCCCXXXIII [1893]. In-8, 75 pp. Red half-maroquin with corners, spine ribbed, gilt title, double gilt fillet on covers, gilt head, covers preserved (G. Toffier). Title vignette by Félicien ROPS (unsigned). Paper slightly browned. A fine copy. Reprint of the original 1733 edition (Amsterdam, J. P. du Valis) of this rare roman à clef about Louis XIV's fight against the "somodites" or "bougres" (the term "bougrerie" was introduced into the French language in the early Middle Ages, to designate the Bulgarians, accused of a crime the Church called "the Bogomil heresy". The Bulgarians were accused not only of being heretics, but also of being sodomites). The last 3 pages contain the key to the various anagrams used in the text. Rare edition of only 200 copies. With a curious article from La Parisienne March 1955 on a curious affair of morals under the Second Empire. "This volume, fortunately very rare, contains a complete key at the end, although most of the words and proper names, simply anagrammatized, are not difficult to understand. The procedure used to disguise the names thus bears a striking resemblance to that employed by the Chevalier de Mouhy in his collection of obscene tales entitled "Les Mille et une faveurs" (The Thousand and One Favors). Nowhere have I seen the name of the author of the above "Anecdotes" mentioned. The coincidence I've just mentioned has led me to think that Mouhy might well be the author of this sad work; this supposition is no doubt rash, but we must admit that he was quite capable of writing it. The subject of this heavy and dirty allegory is the story of the war between the Ebugors (B.. g .. s ) and the Cythériennes, and the investment of Cythère ended by a peace treaty. [...] Quérard goes on to say that a number of contemporary proper names are also to be found in this work: who would not immediately recognize in Calederia and Ripercager La Cadière and Père Girard, whose trial occupied the whole of Europe? You don't have to break your back (sic) to discover in Fourucbuda, the famous Duchauffour who was burned for a crime similar to the one so often mentioned in this book. book."
