Sean Tafer is a specialist in Late Roman and Byzantine history, a professor at the school of history, archeology and religion of Cardiff University. The existence of the eunuchs was one of the determining features of the Byzantine Empire. Sean Tafer explores the various facets of the eunuch phenomenon. What roles did the eunuchs play at court? They are found not only as helpful servants, some of them were influential politicians, prominent bishops and monks. The reader learns how society relates to the eunuchs, especially to their gender identity - whether they were perceived by men, women or the third sex. Covering the entire period of the history of the Empire, from IV to the XV century. e., the author represents a comprehensive overview of the history of eunuchs, using an extensive comparative material from China, Persia, the Ottoman Empire, etc. The book Eunuchs in Byzantium was translated by Andrei Vinogradov, a Russian historian, a researcher of Byzantium and early Christianity
