The Tale of Meridiana

Special episode for Halloween 2026

Gerbert d'Aurillac encounters a strange woman in a woodland glade, who promises a solution to both his romantic and financial predicaments, but there is, of course, a catch.

The text is mostly taken from Walter Map's 'De Nugis Curialium', with embellishments by myself, based on other versions of the legend of Gerbert d'Aurillac.
