Curtezan Unmasked

Curtezan Unmasked

by Anonymous

This spirited treatise exhorts young men to resist the temptations of harlotry and embrace a life of chastity and virtue. The author, a self-proclaimed "Spiritual Physician," employs fiery rhetoric and vivid imagery to paint a damning portrait of harlotry's perils, which he likens to a deadly fever that can consume and destroy. To combat this fever, the author offers "heavenly remedies"—antidotes against temptation—that provide spiritual healing and strength.
