Tariffa delle puttane di Venegia (1535) is a bawdy book attributed to Pietro Bacci and to Lorenzo Veniero. It features prices for courtesans, which vary a hundredfold. This fact is also evident in the comedies of Thomas Killigrew or Aphra Behn, where the great courtesan Angellica Bianca openly advertises her colossal monthly fee, announcing both her availability and her cultural capital by displaying her portrait commissioned from Van Dyck.
These texts were still in print during the 19th and 20th centuries by such printers as Georges Briffaut.
