The Sibylline Oracles : With Introduction, Translation, and Commentary on the First and Second Books
Bok av J. L. Lightfoot
The Sibyl was a legendary figure in Greco-Roman antiquity. J. L. Lightfoot describes how the verse prophecies attributed to her were taken over by Hellenistic Jews, and later by Christians, as a vehicle for their own understandings of prophecy, and provides an edition, translation, and commentary on the first and second books of extant oracles.
