Robin Raybould's The Sibyl Series of the Fifteenth Century examines
the startling and sudden change that occurred in the representation
of the sibyls throughout Europe during the early Renaissance.
Raybould describes how and why during this period the number,
names, attributes and prophecies of these archaic prophetesses were
selected and stabilized thus providing new witness to the Christian
message in sharp contrast to earlier representations where the
sibyls had played a minor role in the history of classical and
Christian divination and prophecy. The book examines all the
fifteenth-century instances of these series, as well as the
manuscripts which describe them, identifies the origin of the
sibylline prophecies and suggests reasons for the widespread
popularity of this new artistic phenomenon.
