The Cambridge World History of Sexualities
Volume II focuses on systems of thought and belief in the history of world sexualities, ranging from early humans to contemporary approaches. Comprising eighteen chapters, this volume opens with a chapter on the evolutionary legacy and then delves into the sexualities of ancient Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and Rome, continuing with pre-modern South Asia, China, and Japan, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. Chapters include an examination of sex…

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography
Hagiography beyond TraditionThe study of sanctity in medieval Europe is starting to elicit cutting-edge, innovative and genuinely interdisciplinary scholarship that destabilizes what people have conventionally considered to be hagiography.This is demonstrated in the topic range of panels sponsored by the Hagiography Society at recent landmark medievalist conferences.While hagiography has traditionally been understood only in religious terms, rece…

Undheim, Sissel
Sissel Undheim' s book, based on her 2011 Ph.d. thesis from the University of Bergen, examines the contested meanings of virginity in late Roman antiquity. She asks two main questions: how different was christian virginity from pagan antecedents, and to what extent was the christian virginal ideal only for women? Her answers to these questions, in four chapters, offer real insights into what she calls "the semantics of virginity" (10). Her source…
A ndrew J. R omig . Be a Perfect Man
“Be a perfect man” is the advice the ninth-century Frankish noblewoman Dhuoda of Septimania gave to her son. In Be a Perfect Man: Christian Masculinity and the Carolingian Aristocracy, Andrew J. Romig analyzes the varied meanings of male perfection in a wide range of Carolingian writers and literary genres from the late eighth to the early tenth centuries. It is not a long book, but Romig manages to link his topic in fascinating ways to the histo…
Homoeroticism in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
John Boswell’s Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality was published in 1980. It sparked immediate controversy because of its claims about the general tolerance toward homoeroticism among ancient Romans, early Christians, and the peoples of the early and High Middle Ages. Most notably, he asserted that there were “gay persons” who lived in these societies of the distant past and were part of sometimes vibrant “gay subcultures.” The book…
The Convertible Saint
Expeditus, a Roman soldier who was for centuries simply a name on a list of early Christian martyrs, took on new life in the late eighteenth century in a Catholic cult that expanded greatly in the late nineteenth century and has continued to spread since then. His name linked him with time and the answering of prayers for urgent causes in particularly modern ways, despite growing scholarly scepticism about him. His unforgettable image — a Roman s…
Jamie Kreiner. The Social Life of Hagiography in the Merovingian Kingdom
The Social Life of Hagiography in the Merovingian Kingdom is wide ranging and thought provoking. Jamie Kreiner begins by identifying a set of saints’ lives (vitae) composed in the Frankish kingdom between the fifth and eighth centuries—itself no easy feat, since most are difficult to date, and preserved only in later manuscripts, often with changes. She then compares them to historical chronicles, law codes, and other contemporary texts, and demo…
The Merry Widows of Late Roman Antiquity
Castration, human
The origins of human castration are obscure, but it was practiced in earliest recorded antiquity in both Mesopotamia and China, and may have arisen independently in these places.
Eunuchs, Greece and Rome
Castration is known from earliest recorded history, but before the Common Era it seems to have been practiced mostly in the easternmost Mediterranean (see castration,human). Accordingly, ancient Greek texts generally discussed castration as the experience of other peoples, although there are some references to castration in Greek myths, such as Hesiod's account of the birth of Aphrodite from the severed genitals of Ouranos.
The Marriage Revolution in Late Antiquity
Although much scholarly work has already been done on Roman marriage law, most of it deals with the classical era, and little has been done to explore the remarkably radical changes to marriage law in Roman law in late antiquity, that is, during the fourth and fifth centuries C.E. The Theodosian Code provides a unique and valuable source of information, despite the limitations evident in any legal text, on a wide range of legal issues pertaining …
