Long, Kathleen Perry, 'The Case of Marin le Marcis', in Greta LaFleur, Masha Raskolnikov, and Anna Kłosowska (eds), Trans Historical: Gender Plurality before the Modern (Ithaca, NY , 2021; online edn, Cornell Scholarship Online, 19 May 2022), https://doi.org/10.7591/cornell/9781501759086.003.0004, accessed 4 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter discusses the case of Marin le Marcis. Jacques Duval was brought in to examine Marin after he and his partner were arrested and sentenced to death for alleged sodomy. The trials of Marin represent the first well-documented case of intersex individuals taken for the purpose of legally defining their gender. Duval's treatise on hermaphroditism is a material questioning the distinction between biological sex and binary gender. The defendant and Duval use established medical and linguistic discourses concerning gender designation in order to legitimize Marin's choice. The chapter highlights Duval's studies of sex using Ambroise Paré as a model.
