Ganz Neu-eroffneter und wohl-eingerichterer glucks-und unglucks-hafen Fromm und böser Weiber.
Book Description
Second edition of this rare and curious work, first published in 1716, attributed, rather implausibly, to Johann Joseph Pockh (1707-1749), in which the author presents a guide to various types of vicious and virtuous women. These include the pious, the drunken, the hardworking, the lazy, the deaf and the mute, the playful, the youthful, the melancholic, the impatient, the poor, the beautiful, the chaste, the watchful, the jolly, and the adulterous.
