One of a series of sibyls designed for windows in Jesus College Cambridge, to flank each of the four evangelists. The St John Window's Sibyls included Birmingham's Tiburtine Sibyl here and the Erythraean Sibyl now in a private collection (sold Christie's, 17 June 1975, lot 149). Burne-Jones did paint a larger watercolour of the 'Tiburtine Sibyl' in 1877, now in a private collection (see Christie's, 13 March 1990, lot 185). This cartoon also appears in the Morris & Co Windows Book, 1940P604.1, as number 220.

One of a series of sibyls designed for windows in Jesus College Cambridge, to flank each of the four evangelists. For the St Luke Window, there is the Delphic Sibyl (in oil and watercolour cartoons, labelled as the Cumaean Sibyl, private collection and Fogg Art Museum, respectively). Morris & Co switched the Cumaean and Delphic Sibyls in the stained glass versions. A watercolour of 'The Cimmerian Sibyl' is in the collection of Tate, London (NO3427). The St Matthew Window's Sibyls are the Persian Sibyl (location of cartoon unknown) and the Cumaean Sibyl (in oil, the Delphic Sibyl in the Manchester City Art Gallery. This misidentification is a fault of Morris & Co during installation). The St Mark Window's Sibyls are the Phrygian Sibyl (unknown location of the cartoon) and the Libyan Sibyl (unknown location for the cartoon). And the St John Window's Sibyls are the Erythraean Sibyl (Private Collection, sold Christie's, 17 June 1975, lot 149) and BMAG's Tiburtine Sibyl. He did paint a larger watercolour of the Tiburtine Sibyl in 1877, now in a Private Collection (see Christie's, 13 March 1990, lot 185). This cartoon also appears in the Morris & Co Windows Book, 1940P604.1, as number 220.
