The Marvels of the East is one of the prose works in Cotton Vitellius A. xv, also called the Nowell Codex. An illuminated version, presented in both Anglo-Saxon and Latin, also appears in Cotton Tiberius B v. The text describes various far-off lands, including Babylon and Egypt, and their fantastic inhabitants.
