Product Description
First published in the 1950s, this modern masterpiece is Lawrence Durrell's translation and adaptation of Emmanuel Royidis's classic Papissa Joanna--the story of history's only female pope. The story's source is a ninth-century legend: a girl disguised as a monk makes her way from Greece to Rome, is elevated to the throne of St. Peter, and rules over Christendom for a time as Pope John VIII.

Miriam (USA: NC) (2007/01/31):
This book had me so hooked that I went and researched it afterward. Is it true, is it fiction? There's more books on the topic and aparently it's been a heated debate at times. Now I'll have to read more on Pope Joan (aka John Angelica) and make up my mind for myself. LOVE this book!!!
