摘要

在15世纪早期的浪漫小说中，先知女士托马斯，在关于这个浪漫文本的讨论中很少受到关注。本文讨论了这位女士与古希腊和罗马女女巫的相似之处，以及后来女女巫在中世纪神学、预言和浪漫故事中的表现。通过利用与英伦三岛流传的关于国家的预言、女诗人Erythraea、Tiburtine和Cumae的末世预言以及许多浪漫故事Sebiles相关的意象，诗人证实了文本中包含的苏格兰预言。对中世纪女巫传统的典故也将这部浪漫小说中的叙述和预言置于中世纪欧洲更广泛的预言传统之中。埃尔塞杜恩笔下的女士是一个复合型人物，她严重依赖于女文本的典故。通过这些典故，这位女士成为传达苏格兰预言的重要性和有效性的渠道。

Thomas of erceldoune's lady: The scottish sibyl

This essay discusses the affinities this lady shares with the sibyls of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as later manifestations of the sibyls in medieval theology, prophecy, and romance. By drawing upon imagery associated with the prophetic narratives nationhood circulating in the British Isles, the eschatological prophecies of the sibyls Erythraea, Tiburtine, and Cumae, and the many romance Sebiles, the poet validates the Scottish prophecies contained in the text. Allusions to the medieval sibylline tradition also place the narrative and prophecies in this romance within the wider prophetic tradition of medieval Europe. Erceldoune’s lady is a composite character who is heavily dependent upon sibylline allusions. Through these allusions, the lady becomes conduit through which the importance and validity of the Scottish prophecies are communicated in th...
