QTTEL QHN Q UQZRH Q SUDYL HISTORY OF THE SIBYL Decades and centuries ago when history was in its beginning there existed in obscure and remote corners of Asia Minor and Southern Europe strange, wizened, old women who boasted powers of divine prophecy. Seated in some desolate cavern, wrapped in sacred vapors that issued forth from bottomless crevices they looked far into the future and forsaw events to which mortal eyes were blind. These women with prophetic power were known as Sibyls. But ages have passed and with the swift rush of years times have changed. Ancient civilization has given way to Mediaeval, Mediaeval to Modern, and with each transition there has come more expansive education and knowledge. just so the Sibyline powers have waxed greater, more potent and omniscient. Once gifted only with prophecy, now Sibyls have the matchless power to record faultlessly and impartially events which build history. The Sibyl is now a recorder of the past and a guide for the future. And so in this Sibyl, which you hold in your hand, you will dis- cover not only hints of the future but also an accurate account of bygone events. Page Sex en
