Abstract:

© The Editor(s) and The Author(s) 2016. The Liber Thesauri Occulti is a treatise on dreams written at Constantinople in the late twelfth century by the Latin cleric Pascalis Romanus. This chapter discusses the context of the work’s composition and the use Pascalis makes of the sources for his dream key. It argues that Pascalis selected and modified the interpretations to present a model of kingship more compatible with the feudal West than with the theocratic monarchies of his main source, the Oneirocriticon of Achmet, compiled in Byzantium from Arabic dream books.
