The origins of Gesta Romanorum are obscure; it is thought to have been compiled in the late thirteenth century, and the author's identity is uncertain. As the name suggests, the stories were written in Latin. Gesta, meaning deeds, later came to signify jest because of these lighthearted tales and their enduring power to amuse and inspire."@en
