It's related to Baphomet, and also to the talking brass head that Roger
Bacon is supposed to have had. BTW, for an excellent historical fantasy
based on the Gerbert story, see Judith Tarr's *Ars Magica*--a well-written,
meticulously-researched novel by a trained medievalist.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
