The Myth of Pope Joan ペーパーバック – 2001/5/1
購入オプションとあわせ買い
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.

Still, many (Romans and reformers alike) believed it factual. For them it gained credence from ritual and iconic evidence such as the birthing chairs used in pontifical ceremony that were supposedly necessary because a testicular examination had to be made of newly-elected popes after the fraud perpetrated by "la popessa."
Yet, Boureau doesn't seem interested only in writing an authentic history of the legend. He seeks to get behind that legend. So he looks closely at the relationship between the increasingly imperial-minded papacy of the Middle Ages and the psychological and personal rift that developed between the Bishop of Rome and his flock.
Detailed and exact, this fascinating book will assist its readers in understanding the possible source for this persistent myth. Like all myths, it lacks historical accuracy but it is full of truthful insights about sacramental power, the nature of Christian service, ecclesiastical authority and the persistent prevalence of patriarchalism. Because of its beautiful attention to detail, it is a weighty volume and may be difficult for those who are just delving into ecclesiastical history. But for those who enjoy swimming in this particular Tiber, it will be rewarding and enjoyable.
also is so repetitive you almost get lost... I also had to have a dictionary near by to look up many words..I read A LOT but he used words I've never heard of..that made it a really slow read...would have been so much better if told in a more strait forward simple manner
