This is an encyclopaedic dictionary in alphabetical order that brings together information about ancient mythology, history and geography. It is preceded by a history of gentile and biblical figures before Christ, and a genealogy of the pagan gods of the ancient world in verse. It was originally written in 1273 by the scholarly cleric Conrad of Mure, who spent most of his life associated with the Grossmünsterstift in Zurich.
