Otia Imperialia
''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 mythological stories. Its manner of writing is perhaps because the work was written to provide entertainment to Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor. 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."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gervase of Tilbury )〕 It was written between 1210 and 1214, although some give the dates as between 1209 and 1214 and numerous authors state it was published c.1211.〔
==Background==
Though of English origin, Gervase was brought up in Rome. He travelled widely, took religious orders, studied and taught canon law at Bologna, was in Venice in 1177, at the reconciliation of Pope Alexander III and Frederick Barbarossa, and spent some time in the service of Henry of Anjou, and of his son, "Henry the Young King". For the latter, he composed a ''Liber facetiarum'' (‘Book of entertainment’), now lost, as well as the basis for what would become the ''Otia Imperialia''.
Gervase settled in Arles and was appointed Marshal of the Kingdom of Arles in 1198 by Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor and grandson of King Henry. ''Ex officio'' he accompanied Otto to Rome in 1209 on the occasion of his coronation. The following year Gervase was enmeshed in the papacy's struggle with his patron Otto, who was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. Gervase employed the next years, from 1210 to 1214, writing the ''Otia Imperialia'' for his patron. It was written at a time when other encyclopedic descriptions of the world were being produced and translated, such as the ''Summarium Heinrici'', the ''Hortus deliciarum'' (Herrad of Landsberg), the ''Liber exceptionum'' (Richard de Saint-Victor, Jean Châtillon), the ''De proprietatibus rerum'' (Bartholomeus Anglicus), and the ''Speculum naturale'' (Vincent of Beauvais).
