The Myth of Pope Joan, by Alain Boureau translated by Lydia C. Cochrane (read 25 Apr 2014) This book was published in French in 1988 and in English in 2001. It covers in very great detail the extensive writing on Pope Joan, who is usually said to have reigned for over two years around 854. But she was never mentioned in any written record till about 1260 when one Jean de Maily said he had heard of her. After that it was usually accepted that she existed, until about 1450 when her existence was questioned. Today it is generally agreed she never existed. This book expatiates at great length on the vast literature pertaining to her, much of which discussion was erudite and of little interest. In general I was convinced the author is right that the story is a myth, and most historians now agree. ( ) Según cuenta la leyenda, la usurpación del trono terrenal de Pedro por parte de una mujer obligó en sucesivas ocasiones, con el fin de impedir semejante ultraje impostor en lo venidero, a comprobar mediante un tacto testicular que el sexo del elegido se correspondía con tan alto honor. Para ello, y según la fábula, se utilizaba una silla perforada, como las antiguas sillas romanas de los baños que quizá utilizaran los papas en su descanso, que permitía la curiosa exploración. Las dos frases (no sé cuál será correcta, o si lo será alguna de las dos, lamentablemente tengo en desuso mis conocimientos de latín) que abren este artículo están relacionadas con esta famosa silla. Esta historia dentro de la historia a lo largo de la historia ha tenido tantos detractores como seguidores, y tantas "pruebas" que la acreditaban como que la desacreditaban. Hay varias versiones sobre la existencia de la Papisa, y aún más explicaciones de por qué pudo surgir el mito. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In the ninth century, a brilliant young woman named Joan disguised herself as a man so that she could follow her lover into the then-exclusively male world of scholarship. She proved so successful that she ascended the Catholic hierarchy in Rome and was eventually elected pope. Her pontificate lasted two years, until she became pregnant and died after giving birth during a public procession from the Vatican. Or so the legend goes—a legend that was fabricated sometime in the thirteenth century, according to Alain Boureau, and which has persisted in one form or another down to the present day. In this fascinating saga of belief and rhetoric, politics and religion, Boureau investigates the historical and ecclesiastical circumstances under which the myth of Pope Joan was constructed and the different uses to which it was put over the centuries. He shows, for instance, how Catholic clerics justified the exclusion of women from the papacy and the priesthood by employing the myth in misogynist moral tales, only to find the popess they had created turned against them in anti-Catholic propaganda during the Reformation.
