Reviews

[Arief Mulyanto]

Jadi ini masih menjadi pertanyaan apakah sosoknya nyata atau legenda? Lumayan ringan dan mudah dipahami penyampaian informasi nya.

[Sylvia]

Boring!!! Highly documented I know but it ends with the same conclusion I myself will come up with without reading this book: that whether the female pope really did exist or not remains a mystery.

[Theresa]

Unlike The Legend of Pope Joan, this author, using the same evidence, concludes that Joan was most likely a ficional character. Who really knows?

[Les]

A slim but solid study of how polemicists of different stripes over centuries have turned a fragment of medieval "urban myth" into a full fleshed conspiracy theory that still has followers.
