Erotika Biblion is a book by Comte de Mirabeau first published in 1783. It describes a series of coded sexual practices. The title refers to the Bible and the sexual events from Antiquity which are treated there in a euphemistic language. The The Erotic History of France calls it one of "the strangest books ever written." Marchand further notes that "the whole edition of this work was confiscated immediately so that only fourteen copies of it are extant today. It was naturally placed on the Index, too, under the title of Amatoria Bibliorum. Subsequent editions met the same fate but the book has reproduced itself."

On elective affinities and sympathism
- "Chaque corps a ses émanations; elles sont en pure perte sur la terre : dans l'anneau, elles formaient une atmosphère toujours agissante à des distances considérables; et ces émanations, dont Shackerley n'a pu donner une idée qu'en les comparant à ces atomes qu'on distingue à l'aide du rayon solaire introduit dans la chambre obscure, ces émanations, dis- je, répondaient à toutes les houppes nerveuses du sentiment de l'individu. Semblables aux étaminesdes plantes, aux affinités chimiques, elles s'enlaçaient dans les manations d'un autre individu, lorsque la sympathie s'y rencontrait;ce qui, comme on peut aisément le concevoir, multipliait à l'infini des sensations dont nous ne pouvons nous former qu'une image très-infidèle. Elles rendaient, par exemple, les jouissances de deux amants semblables à celles d'Alphée, qui, pour jouir d'Arétbuse que Diane venait de changer en fontaine, se métamorphosa en fleuve, afin de s'unir plus intimement à son amante, en mêlant ses ondes avec les siennes.
Anandrine
- "l'Anandrine sert de pendant honteux du Thalaba, et nous représente, dans la femme, l'épouvantable vice qu'il a critiqué dans l'homme. Il nous fait voir dans quel degré d'abjection peut tomber un sexe aimable, si bien fait pour plaire, lorsqu'il a franchi les bornes de la pudeur."--Erotika Biblion[1]
