| Resumo: | This article analyzes the synonyms and meanings of the vulva compiled in Medieval Arab and Islamic erotic literature, from the advent of Islam to the arrival of the Ottoman Empire. In the first section, the justification of the foundational texts of Islam in relation to eroticism and the female sex is briefly introduced, together with support for the theory of this Arab obsession when classifying and reifying the female body. On the other hand, the second part is dedicated to the terminological analysis of the lexicon collected by writers and chroniclers on fictionalized vulvas and to the role that each terminology plays in the sources described: synonymic, metonymic, explanatory, encyclopedic, descriptive, and derogatory.
