Bigois (or Bigotis)

A sorcerer in ancient Tuscany who is said to have composed a learned work on the nature of prognostications, especially those connected with thunder and lightning. The book is thought to be irretrievably lost. Some believed Bigois to be the same as Bagoe, a sibyl of Erithryea, but this is merely surmise.
