| | Stories from the Indian collections appear in the Thousand Nights and a Night, the Gesta Romanorum, and the Decameron; the Gesta Romanorum was, in turn, a source for both Chaucer and Shakespeare. | | | It is worth noting, however, that stories travelled far and lasted long. | | | Similarly, Apuleius plagiarized parts of his plot from an earlier Greek workPand contributed one story to the Decameron, published some twelve centuries after his death. |

| | The abstract of the book |
| | The purpose of this book is to analyse the passages about Romanians contained in Gesta Hungarorum (GH), by comparison with other written sources and with the archaeological discoveries. | | | The Romanian historians often used the Anonymous Hungarian Gesta, but there are very few studies focused on the trustworthiness of this source. | | | Although it was supposed that Blachi were another Latin-speaking people, this could not be true, because the expression pastores Romanorum could be applied only to the Romanians. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Gower |
| | In the conversation between the penitent and the confessor the seven deadly sins are discussed and illustrated by tales borrowed from Ovid, Josephus, Vincent de Beauvais, Statius, the "Gesta Romanorum", the Bible, and other sources. | | | In its plan, which was doubtless borrowed from the "Roman de la Rose", this work is a dialogue first between the poet, in the character of a lover, and Venus, and afterwards between the poet, in the character of a penitent, and Genius, whom Venus assigns to him as a confessor. | | | That the poet and the clerk were one and the same person may, however, reasonably be doubted. |

| | The story of the Brazen Bull of Perillus is thus told in the Gesta Romanorum, Tale 48, Swan's Tr.:-- | | | The idea was, that the sounds produced by the agony of the sufferer confined within should resemble the roaring of a bull; and thus, while nothing human struck the ear, the mind should be unimpressed by a feeling of mercy. | | | They and their adherents had already been excommunicated and put under the ban of the Church; they had been stripped of all dignities and privileges; their property had been confiscated; and they were now by this bull placed in the position o enemies, not of the Pope alone, but of the Church Universal. |

| | SIR ISUMBRAS: Introduction |
| | However, certain treatments of the Eustace story, such as that in the Middle English Gesta Romanorum where the concluding martyrdom is omitted, or that in Digby MS 86, which employs tail-rhyme, may have suggested ways in which the story could be cast as romance. | | | The Eustace legend consists of three main episodes: the visionary conversion of a Roman officer including the foretelling of his suffering and eventual martyrdom; his exile and separation from his family; their reunion and martyrdom in battle against the Romans. | | | Eustace, of course, concludes with the spiritual comic vision of the hero freed from earthly ties, and the soul reunited with God in heavenly bliss. |
