520 _a"History of Circumcision from the Earliest Times to the Present" by P. C. Remondino, M.D. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the practice of circumcision, examining its origins, cultural significance, and the various moral and physical reasons behind its performance throughout history. It also touches on related topics like eunuchism and hermaphroditism, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of this ancient practice. At the start of the book, the author outlines the purpose of his work, explaining that it originated from a paper he presented to the Southern California Medical Society. He discusses the historical prevalence of circumcision among various cultures, including its hygienic, social, and religious aspects. The introduction highlights the ancient Egyptians and Greeks' practices and the increase of circumcision among different classes, particularly the medical profession in modern societies. Remondino underscores the dual nature of circumcision—often valued for its supposed health benefits while simultaneously shrouded in social and moral debates, setting the stage for his detailed exploration of circumcision's significance across different civilizations.
