The Popeess is a satirical, libertine, and anti-clerical book by Abbé Giovanni Battista Casti (1724-1803), an Italian poet of the 18th century. His tale takes up the medieval legend of Pope Joan, the woman who, according to tradition, is said to have been elected pope under a male disguise before her gender was revealed. Casti does not aim to produce a historical work; instead he mocks the clergy, the Church, and religious hypocrisies, blending humor, eroticism, and social critique. The work lies within the anti-clerical and libertine tradition of the 18th century.
