|ShortDescription=Encyclopaedic work written by the English jurist and cleric Gervase of Tilbury. It was dedicated to Emperor Otto IV and intended for his instruction and entertainment, although it is unclear if he ever heard or read the work. The work is divided into three books or <em>decisiones</em>: book I covers the early history of the world, from Creation onwards; book II offers a historical geography of the world (<em>mappa mundi</em>) and its provinces, with excursions on the Holy Land and the six ages of the world. While anecdotal material, including legends about marvels (<em>mirabilia</em>), is found throughout the first two books, book III is entirely devoted to marvellous phenomena. | |ShortDescription=Encyclopaedic work written by the English jurist and cleric Gervase of Tilbury.
