Abstract
This article examines the ara coeli legend, a tale in which the Tiburtine Sibyl showed Emperor Augustus a vision of a virgin holding a child proclaiming the child’s greatness. Based on both texts and art works, mainly from the Holy Roman Empire, it argues that the legend owed its widespread popularity to the way in which it was grafted onto the fifteenth-century Marian cult. While flourishing in coexistence with the humanist reconsideration of the Sibylline heritage, this incorporation into popular belief ultimately led to the legend’s decline during the Reformation, as reformers and later Catholic theologians revised Mary’s role in the unfolding of Christian salvation. In the face of Protestant and post-Tridentine theology, the ara coeli legend thus subsided into religious irrelevance, giving way to political, mythological, and gendered interests in the Sibyls.

Résumé
Cet article s’intéresse à la légende de l’ara coeli, un récit dans lequel la sibylle triburtine expose à l’empereur Auguste la vision d’une vierge tenant un enfant en proclamant la grandeur de celui-ci. En s’appuyant à la fois sur des textes et des œuvres d’art, principalement du Saint-Empire romain germanique, il soutient que la légende doit sa grande popularité à la manière dont elle s’est greffée sur le culte marial du xve siècle. Tout en s’épanouissant en coexistence avec la reconsidération humaniste de l’héritage sibyllin, cette incorporation dans l’imaginaire populaire a ultimement conduit au déclin de la légende pendant la Réforme, lorsque les réformateurs et, plus tard, les théologiens catholiques ont réévalué le rôle de Marie dans le déroulement du salut chrétien. Face à la théologie protestante et post-tridentine, la légende de l’ara coeli a ainsi perdu sa pertinence religieuse, laissant place à des intérêts politiques, mythologiques et genrés pour les sibylles.
