''Les Onze Mille Verges ou les Amours d'un hospodar'' is a pornographic novel by French author Guillaume Apollinaire, published in 1907 over his initials "G.A.". The title contains a play on the Catholic veneration of the "Eleven thousand Virgins" (French: ''les onze mille vierges''), the martyred companions of Saint Ursula, replacing the word ''vierge'' (virgin) with ''verge'' (rod) due to a slip of the tongue by the protagonist and as an omen of his fate. The use of the word ''verge'' may also be considered as a pun for it is used as a vulgarism for the male member. ==Literary background== ''Les Onze Mille Verges'' draws on the work of earlier erotic writers, including the Marquis De Sade, Rétif de la Bretonne, André Robert de Nerciat and Pietro Aretino.〔Scott Baker, "Apollinaire, Guillaume" in ''The Encyclopedia of Erotic Literature'', Edited by Gaétan Brulotte and John Philips (pp. 33-40).
