Jean d'Outremeuse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean d'Outremeuse (1338? – 1399?) was a Belgian writer and historian who authored two romanticised historical works.

La Geste de Liége is a leisurely account of the mythical history of his native city, Liege, written partly in prose and partly in verse.

Ly Myreur des Histors ("The Mirror of History") is a more ambitious narrative, purporting to be a history of the world from the Flood up to the 14th century.
