Giles Jacob's 'Tractus de Hermaphrodites; Or, A Treatise of Hermaphrodites' is a groundbreaking exploration of hermaphroditism in the context of 18th-century literature and medical knowledge. This comprehensive treatise delves into the historical, medical, and social perspectives of hermaphrodites, shedding light on their existence in a time when the topic was largely taboo. Jacob's work combines scientific research with philosophical ponderings, creating a fascinating read that challenges societal norms and perceptions of gender identity.

The detailed case studies and anatomical descriptions provide readers with a deeper understanding of the complexity of hermaphroditism and its implications on society.
