The Plague of Lust, Vol. 1 (of 2) / Being a History of Venereal Disease in Classical Antiquity
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation and accents have been standardised but all other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.
Anchors for footnotes 27 and 59 were missing and have been added in appropriate places.
The Orphean hymn in footnote 12 is in error. The correction is shown with the footnote.
(the act the Lesbian) in footnote 327 is erroneous but could be ‘to act ...’ or ‘the act of ...’ so remains uncorrected.
The book contains several blank pages and long and multi page footnotes hence there are gaps in, and variable spacing of, page numbers. Many index entries refer directly to muli-page footnotes, where this is clearly the case, the index link directs to the footnote.
An index to both volumes is included in volume II. This has been copied into the end of this volume by the transcriber.
