1. SUMMARY

The Tiburtine Sibyl is an apocalyptic text produced in the fourth century CE regarding
the eschatological triumph of the (Christian) Roman Empire. The eponymous main
character of the text, the Tiburtine Sibyl, is deemed one of ten Sibyls and a daughter of
the Trojan king Priam. She is brought to Rome and provides an eschatological vision to
one hundred members of the Roman Senate simultaneously. In this vision, there are
nine suns that represent nine generations: some of which are idyllic, some horrid,

some relating to the birth of Christ or the spread of the Gospel through the apostles,
and some regarding turmoil in the Roman Empire. The Sibyl predicts that sixty years
after the reign of Constantine, emperors will cease to rule from Constantinople. The
Tiburtine Sibyl also contains the famous tradition of the “Last Emperor,” a figure that
also appears in the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius. The Last Emperor will conquer
pagan lands, convert the Jews, and go to Jerusalem, where he will relinquish his Roman
imperial power to God. The victory of the Last Emperor ends with the defeat of the
Antichrist at the hands of Michael on the Mount of Olives.

The Tiburtine Sibyl is best-known in its Latin version, which contains material that
dates it to the late fourth century. However, the Latin version also contains various
medieval insertions meant to “update” the Sibyl’s prophecies (since Roman emperors
did not stop ruling from Constantinople sixty years after Constantine). Such insertions
provide lists of kings in the same cryptic manner as the older material’s reference to
Constantine as C. This list highlights Lombards, German rulers, and Salian Franks, as
well as a particular interest in the rule of Charlemagne. The Latin version is extant in
over 130 manuscripts, with various manuscripts extant as well in Greek, Arabic,
Ethiopic, and Slavonic.

Named historical figures and characters:  Alexander (the Great), Antichrist, Constantine
(emperor), Elijah (prophet), Enoch (patriarch), Hecuba, Jesus Christ, Joseph (of
Nazareth), Last Emperor, Mary (Virgin), Michael (angel),  Priam, Sibyl.

Geographical locations:  Cappadocia, Gog,  Jerusalem, Magog, Mount of Olives,

Pamphylia, Pentapolis, Rome, Syria.
