"The Plague of Lust, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Julius Rosenbaum is an academic work that delves into the history of venereal disease in classical antiquity, likely written in the early 20th century. The text focuses on various sexual practices, cults, and regulations surrounding sexuality, investigating the existence of diseases throughout ancient societies and their literary documentation, while attempting to refute the notion that these afflictions were a modern phenomenon introduced in the 15th century. The opening of the book establishes Rosenbaum’s intent to provide a comprehensive academic overview of the subject, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of venereal diseases across time and culture. It introduces the reader to the methods undertaken by Rosenbaum, emphasizing his critical examination of existing literature and the historical relevance of various practices related to sexuality. He draws connections between illness, societal norms, and historical beliefs about sexuality, preparing to outline how these ancient understandings might inform a contemporary comprehension of venereal diseases and their societal implications.
