Summary
A newly discovered Greek manuscript of the Sibylline Oracles, dated to Emperor Theodosius I's reign and later revised at Baalbek (502–506 AD), reveals significant Eastern variations from Western texts. This manuscript suggests possible Monophysite influence and traces of an unknown work, 'Theosophy,' challenging traditional interpretations of these ancient prophecies. The study analyzed textual discrepancies to uncover their historical and theological implications.
