A collection of short stories by the late 16th-century author Béroalde de Verville (1556-1612?). Published in 1610. This unique work depicts hundreds of famous people from past and present, from Aristotle and Caesar to Erasmus and Ronsard, attending a grand banquet and engaging in free-spirited discussion, and is peppered with candid, erotic humor throughout. The author, Béroalde, was a polymath who converted from Protestantism to Catholicism, and although he wrote many books, he is known for only this one work, published anonymously.
