Bibliography

[JesusA (imported)]

I'm still in the process of cataloging the books and articles about castration, eunuchs, and closely related subjects that are on my bookshelves. It's been far too long since I've updated the listing here on the EA. Mostly I dread having to go through each of the existing sections to update the listings. To simplify matters, I've decided that I should just, periodically, add the newly cataloged items as an additional post. I'll try to add a few every two or three months, whenever I have enough to make it worthwhile.
