		Février, "Le Double language de la Sibylle: De l'oracle grec au rituel romain," queries the ancient Sibylline Books in terms of their function as remedial or as oracular, whether politicized early on by the Tarquins or later by Caesar Augustus, and as genuine interpretations of wonders or as vindicating divinations.
		Jacqueline Champeaux, "Figures romaines de la Sibylle," suggests that the name became a kind of generic name for a curious figure or fanatical virgin, descending from the convulsive deliriums of the pythoness of Delphi, alluded to or described by writers as diverse as Varro, Tibullus, Livy, Lucan, Plutarch, and John Chrysostom.
		Albert Foulon, "Sibylles élégiaques," surveys, with respect to the topic, the textual traditions of Tibullus and Ovid, preferring the inventiveness of the former, even though the poet only mentions four of the ten (or twelve) Sibyls known to Varro.

		Later on the number of sibyls were increased to ten, including the Samian, the Trojan, the Phrygian, the Cimmerian, the Delphian, the Cumaean, the Libyan, the Tiburtine, and the Babylonian.
		Despite these records, and despite this long tradition of sanctity, the Cumaean Sibyls were considered fantasy until archaeologists proved their actual existence by discovering sticks and stones, tunnels and slabs of quarried rock, and the cave in which each Sibyl had lived at Cumae.
		One of the Cumaean Sibyl's peculiarities, moreover, was that when consulted she would write her predictions on oak leaves and lay them at the edge of her cave, from which they were blown hither and yon by the wind and often confusedly mixed up, making them all but unintelligible to their readers.
