| Summary | "Traité des eunuques" by Charles Ancillon is a scholarly examination written in the early 18th century. This work delves into the various types of eunuchs, their societal roles, and the contentious topic of whether they are permitted to marry. The treatise provides insights into historical perceptions and legal implications surrounding eunuchs and marriage, indicating a complex interplay of morality, law, and sexual identity. The opening of the treatise establishes an intellectual environment whereby Ancillon introduces the subject matter after reflecting on past societal views regarding eunuchs, particularly referencing their historical roles and the cultural significance placed upon them. He sets the stage for a rigorous discussion, promising to explore their classification, rights in the context of marriage, and the various legal and theological objections to their marital status. By framing the topic in a historical and legal context, Ancillon invites readers into a nuanced exploration of a subject that intertwines notions of humanity, sexuality, and ethics.
