	HISTORY: Sibylline Oracles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sibylline Oracles is the name given to a particular collections of prophecies, emanating from the sibyls or divinely inspired seeresses, which were widely circulated in antiquity.
		Because of the influence these oracles had in shaping the religious views of the period, during the second century B. C the Hellenistic Jews in Alexandria composed verses in the same form, attributing them to the sibyls.
		It seems clear, however, that the Christian Oracles and those revised from Jewish sources all emanated from the same circle and were intended to aid in the diffusion of Christianity.

		The original Sibylline Books were closely-guarded oracular scrolls written by prophetic priestesses (the Sibylls) in the Etruscan and early Roman Era as far back as the 6th Century B.C.E. These books were destroyed, partially in a fire in 83 B.C.E., and finally burned by order of the Roman General Flavius Stilicho (365-408 C.E.).
