It is perhaps the strangest true event to have taken place in European history. I enjoyed the digging that uncovered it -- buried in a dark corner of times a long out of mind. It is also a story of how, throughout some of the darkest mediaeval times, the redeeming power and strength of a young woman's love and intelligent prevail over a poverty, brutality and bigotry. I trust you'll enjoy as much as I enjoyed taking a few scattered bones of mediaeval Latin and Arabic texts and recreating from them the story of Sylvia: a remarkable, talented and eccentric young woman" -- from the front fold over panel.
