active 1655 Michel Millot

Very little about this author can be confirmed with confidence. Michel Millot is commonly linked to L'Escole des filles (also known as The School of Venus), an anonymous or disputed French erotic dialogue from the mid-17th century, and some library records credit him as its author.

Because the historical record is so thin, Millot is usually treated more as a name attached to the work than as a fully documented literary figure. What has lasted is the book itself: a bold, conversational text that became notorious in its time and has continued to attract attention as an example of early modern libertine writing.
