"Tractus de Hermaphrodites; Or, A Treatise of Hermaphrodites" by Giles Jacob is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the phenomenon of hermaphrodites, which are individuals possessing both male and female reproductive organs. It delves into historical, anatomical, and legal perspectives, particularly focusing on how hermaphrodites are treated in matters of marriage and personal relationships. In this work, Jacob categorizes different types of hermaphrodites and discusses their sexual intrigues and anatomical distinctions. He presents numerous intriguing case studies and anecdotes that illustrate the complexities surrounding hermaphrodites in society, including their capacity for love, reproduction, and the legal implications tied to their identities. Jacob also examines various theories about the generation of hermaphrodites, diving into the intersection of nature, nurture, and societal norms. Overall, the treatise serves as both a scholarly investigation and a reflection on the human experience regarding gender and sexuality in the context of early modern thought.
