Abstract
The article presents a historical debate regarding the French saint and military leader Joan of Arc and her auditions. Topics include incorporation of new form of psychological research by Johannic scholars into the study of Joan's auditions, the sustained ideological competition to colonize the persona of Joan of Arc during the pre-World War I era, and the publications in the mid-twentieth century on the psychological and medical explanations for Joan of Arc's voices.
