Otia Imperialia ("Recreation for an Emperor") is an early 13th-century encyclopedic work, the best known work of Gervase of Tilbury. It is an example of speculum literature. Also known as the "Book of Marvels", it primarily concerns the three fields of history, geography, and physics, but its credibility has been questioned by numerous scholars including philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, who was alerted to the fact that it contains many mythical stories. Its manner of writing is perhaps because the work was written to provide entertainment to Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV. However, many scholars consider it a very important work in that it "recognizes the correctness of the papal claims in the conflict between Church and Empire." It was written between 1210 and 1214, although some give the dates

  • Les Divertissements pour un empereur (appelés également en latin : Liber facetiarum, Otia imperialia, Liber de mirabilibus mundi, Solatia imperatoris ou Descriptio totius orbis) sont un ouvrage encyclopédique de Gervais de Tilbury. Ils furent à l'origine destinés au prince puis roi d'Angleterre, Henri le Jeune, mais à la suite du décès de celui-ci, il est remis à l'empereur Otton IV de Brunswick, en 1214 ou 1215. Gervais de Tilbury le compléta durant toute sa vie, au début dans le but de distraire le prince anglais, d'où son premier titre, Liber facetiarum (Livre ou recueil de divertissements), un manuscrit aujourd'hui perdu. Puis Gervais, de 1210 à 1214, composa ses Otia Imperialia pour Otton. Cet ouvrage est contemporain d'autres sommes telles le Liber exceptionum de Richard de Saint-Victor ou les Speculum de Vincent de Beauvais. (fr)
