Title:
Medieval Sibyls: Their Character and Their "Auctoritas" [The author analyzes a 7th century Latin poem from Spain, two French texts from the 12th century, and two German poems from the 14th century. The author traces several folklore motifs involving the Sibyl as the Queen of Sheba, frequently with a goose foot which is miraculously cured after she foresees and honors Christ's future sacrifice. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
