  Covering the span of the history of the empire, from the 4th to the 15th centuries AD, this book presents a survey of the history and roles of eunuchs, and about castrato singers of the eighteenth century of Enlightenment Europe, and self-castrating religious devotees, such as the Galli of ancient Rome, early Christians, and the Skoptsy of Russia.
