ANANGA-RANGA,
(Stage of the Bodiless One)
OR THE
HINDOO ART OF LOVE,
(Ars Amoris Indica,)

Translated from the Sanskrit and Annotated by
A. F. F. AND B. F. R.

[Ready.

This work may fairly be pronounced unique from the days of Sotades and Ovid to our time. Western authors have treated the subject either jocularly, or with a tendency to hymn the joys of immorality. The Indian author has taken the opposite view, and it is impossible not to admire the delicacy with which he has handled an exceedingly delicate theme.

III.

THE
PERFUMED GARDEN,
OF THE
SHEIK NEFZAOUI,
OR THE
ARAB ART OF LOVE,

XVIth Century.

Translated from the French Version of the Arabian MS.

[Ready.

***This, the authorized version, is printed in purple and red ink, and ornamented with Arabesque Initial Ornaments.
