History of circumcision from the earliest times to the present
History of Circumcision from the Earliest Times to the Present, published in 1891 by the San Diego physician P. C. Remondino, is both a history and an argument. Remondino traces the practice among the ancient Egyptians, the Hebrews and the peoples of Africa, Polynesia and the Americas, its place in Jewish and Muslim religion, the attitudes of the Greeks, Romans and early Christians, and the medical opinion of his own century. He then sets out the case that the operation prevents a long list of disorders and should be performed routinely on infants, a view that helped make the practice common in the United States. The book is a document of nineteenth-century medicine as much as of the custom it describes. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
