A prophet highly respected in medieval Europe. In ancient Greece and Rome, the prophetic books of the female seers, the Sibylles, were believed to provide guidance for national administration and warfare. Among them, the Cumaean and Tiburtina, known for their paintings by Michelangelo, became famous in later generations. Tiburtina in particular was the most famous female prophet of the Middle Ages, and there is a legend that she was the daughter of King Priam, and traveled from Asia Minor to Egypt and Babylonia, and was eventually called to Rome, where she interpreted the same dream that 100 senators had in one night.
