Peter of Spain publishes Thesaurus Pauperum
1270 AD published
The Treasury of the Poor (Thesaurus Pauperum), is a comprehensive medical manual of diseases and remedies
Noteworthy because it contains two sections on coitus - how to enhance the sexual act and how to subdue sexual urges.
Promoting coitus seems an odd topic for a medieval Catholic cleric-writer and raises the question as to whether the first section may have been added by a later copyist or editor, but an examination of a very early manuscript of the Thesaurus gives assurance that the two sexual sections were written by Petrus, probably around 1270.
