About the Book

English summary: Gervais of Tilbury has been called the first folklorist of the Middle Ages. This modern French translation offers readers Tilburys fantastical world of marvels, werewolves, fairies, and ghostly knights, all of which he described, drawing on a long literary career, to Otto IV of Brunswick in this exceptional manuscript. French description: Demons et merveilles, loups-garous, femme-serpent melusinienne, fees, dracs aquatiques, lamies, chevaliers fantomes et bien d'autres creatures fantastiques surgissent au fil des pages des Otia Imperialia - traduits ici en partie pour la premiere fois en francais moderne - que l'Anglais Gervais de Tilbury composa, au debut du XIIIe siecle, pour le plaisir de l'Empereur Otton IV de Brunswick. Homme d'Eglise, eminent juriste, grand dignitaire et conseiller de l'Empereur, l'auteur, apres une jeunesse passee a la brillante cour d'Henri II Plantagenet et d'Alienor d'Aquitaine, fut amene par ses fonctions a parcourir l'Europe et a sejourner longuement en Italie et dans le royaume d'Arles. Les Otia Imperialia visent a amuser, a etonner le lecteur, mais aussi a le faire reflechir. Gervais a merite le titre de premier folkloriste du Moyen Age . mais c'est aussi un observateur attentif de son temps, qui nous donne a voir mille details de la vie des hommes au tournant des XIIe et XIIIe siecles.
About the Author: Anne Duchesne, archiviste paleographe, travaille a l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.
