During his final weeks, one of his jailers acknowledged thatValentine was a learned man and took his daughter Julia, born blind, to receive lessons in science and religion. Julia learned to see the world through the eyes of Valentine, until finally,successive pleas for the girl, achieved the first miracle, that she could see.
