Despite his dedication to science and mathematics—or perhaps because of it—Pope Sylvester II has been historically linked with legends of magic and sorcery, though these stories are more myth than fact.

This episode brings you the story of the life and legacy of Gerbert of Aurillac also known as Pope Sylvester II.
