Gesta Romanorum, compiled by an unknown author, likely a cleric in late medieval England or Germany, is a collection of anecdotes and tales, many derived from classical and oriental sources, adapted to serve as moral examples. This edition, translated and edited by Charles Swan, makes these stories accessible to a modern audience. The Gesta Romanorum, or 'Deeds of the Romans,' presents entertaining narratives originally ’invented by the monks as a fire-side recreation and commonly applied in their discourses from the pulpit.’ Swan’s work reveals the historical influence of these tales, noting how celebrated poets and writers have extracted inspiration from them since the earliest times. The stories offer insight into the medieval worldview, blending entertainment with didactic purpose, making it a valuable resource for those interested in medieval literature, folklore, and the history of moral instruction.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
