A book of prophecies or chrismologion (also chresmologion; χρησμολόγιον; latinized chrismologium) is a genre of literature which collects prophecies or methods of divination.

Prophecies attributed to Merlin, first circulated separately as Prophetiae Merlini (c. 1130) before their inclusion in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (c. 1136), shaped medieval views on fate and kingship. Allegorical visions, like the red and white dragons symbolizing Britons and Saxons, influenced Tudor propaganda, Arthurian legend, and esoteric traditions. Treated as both political tools and mystical revelations, they reinforced the myth of Britain’s destiny.

Similarly, a Russian translation of a 1673 Greek chrismologion was dedicated to the Tsar by Nikolai Spathari.
