Gandalf's sight

***Fat middle*** · 09-19-2002, 02:04 PM

At the end of The Pyre of Denethor, when Gandalf hears the Witch King's last scream and looks to the battle field it says more or less that "he saw with the sight he had been given all what had befallen".

Afterwards, when he mets Pippin & Merry going up to the Houses of Healing, he says to Pippin that thanks to Merry much grieve have been avoided, as if he knew exactly what had befallen.

What sort of a sight is that of Gandalf? It seems as powerful as a Palantir: he can see the past if he bend his thought over it. Does anybody remember another proof of his special sight?
