520 _a"Miti, leggende e superstizioni del Medio Evo, vol. II" by Arturo Graf is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on various medieval legends, superstitions, and mythological interpretations, delving into figures such as the Pope Sylvester II and exploring themes of demonology, folklore, and historical anecdotes. Graf appears to aim to dissect the myths surrounding key historical figures in the context of medieval beliefs. At the start of the work, the author introduces the legend of Pope Sylvester II, originally known as Gerberto, outlining his remarkable rise from humble beginnings to the papacy while emphasizing the subsequent legends that painted him as a magician and a character associated with dark arts. Graf discusses the misconceptions surrounding Dante's portrayal of corrupt popes and notes the medieval tendency to blend admiration with suspicion of learned individuals like Gerberto. The narrative begins to trace the evolution of Gerberto's legend, highlighting how rumors, anecdotes, and the socio-religious climate of the time contributed to his posthumous characterization as an individual who had made a fatal pact with the devil, intertwining themes of ambition, knowledge, and superstition.
