Gervaise of Tilbury: Otia Imperialia: Recreation for an Emperor

Gervase of Tilbury's Otia Imperialia was written in the early thirteenth century for his patron, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV. This is the first English translation of this major medieval text, which is both learned and entertaining, full of scientific and theological speculation and a wealth of accounts of folklore and popular belief.
