About This Item
1678 1ed Sibylline Oracles PAGAN Prophecy Occult Philosophy RARE Jesuit Crasset
Jean Crasset was a 17th-century French Jesuit who was best known for his treatises of asceticism and philosophy. One of his many books was 'Dissertation on the Oracles of Sibyl'. At the end of the 17th-century several treatises were written on the Sibylline Oracles many of which focused on the pagan origins of the oracles. Crasset, according to Buitenwerf,
"firmly believed that the Sibylline Oracles were divine utterances of the Greek prophetess Sibyl."
Crasset sought to prove that the Sibylline Oracles were nothing more than false Christian narratives, He also defended the early church fathers who wrote that the Oracles were genuinely written by Sibyls, making references to great philosophers and historians such as Suetonius and Saint Augustine and his famous 'City of God'.
