Prophecies of Malachi

Prophecies of Malachi

The Prophecies of Malachi refer to two very different works:

* The one most often meant is a list of prophecies on the reigns of the Popes, apparently by a medieval Irish monk Malachi, possibly the same as St. Malachi
* The Biblical Book of Malachi may also be meant
