The Dreams of Three Emperors : The Journey of Achmet's Oneirocriticon from Byzantium to Bohemia
Original language description
Since dreams and dreaming were widely discussed phenomena throughout the Middle Ages, dream books were among the most popular literature in high and late medieval Europe. The so-called Oneirocriticon of Achmet enjoyed especially high popularity. Writtenin Greek in the 10th century, probably for Bzyantine Emperor Leo VI, and translated into Latin in the late 12th century by Emperor Manuel Komnenos's court interpreter, the Oneirocriticon became one of the most important sources of later medieval and humanistic works on oneiromancy. Apart from being the only dream book of the period comparable to the classical work of Artemidorus, the Oneirocriticon also offers a more sophisticated methodology of interpreting dreams than other popular medieval dream manuals. Moreover, the text clearly presents royals as a privileged class of dreamers, making itself a prestigious work for rulers and the aristocracy.
