Maria Prophetissa is the printed designation in the introductory catalogue. Prophetissa is the learned title of prophetess, not the name of a second person. No individual teaching or biographical episode accompanies it here. The designation contributes to the narrator’s broad succession of authorities for the art; the catalogue’s shared rhetorical function is explained under Philosophers rather than expanded into an unsupported life.
