This is the first English translation and the first modern critical edition of Gervase of Tilbury's Otia Imperialia. Gervase wrote the Otia Imperialia in the early thirteenth century for his patron, the Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV. It presents an encyclopedic melange of cosmographical,historical, and geographical information and a wealth of learned and original accounts of folklore and popular belief. It also contains advice to Otto and pertinent remarks on the relationship between Empire and Papacy, together with scientific and theological speculation. The edition alsoincludes Gervase's recently discovered Commentary on the Lord's Prayer. Gervase was a voracious and eclectic reader; his many borrowings are identified in this fully annotated edition.

Excerpt from Des Gervasius von Tilbury Otia Imperialia Leibnitz bemerkt, dass die zuweilen dem Gervasius zuge schriebene Abhandlung über das englische Ecchequer (s rium) nicht, wie Vossius irrthümlich geglaubt habe, in dia logischer Form geschrieben sei; allein sie ist dies dennoch und Vossius hat sich nicht geirrt. Uebrigens hält Thomas Madox, der Herausgeber des in Rede stehenden Dialogns de Saccario (s. Grässe 2, 2, 801. Hist.
