Riassunto

Pope Joan traces the remarkable history of a young woman who, according to tradition, travelled across Europe in the ninth century disguised as a monk, acquired great learning and ruled over Christendom for two years as Pope John VIII before dying in childbirth.
On the book's first publication in Athens in 1886 it created a sensatian; it was banned and its author excommunicated. The work nevertheless soon established itself securely in Greek literature.
