Liber de similitudinibus et exemplis

Liber de similitudinibus et exemplis (also known as Tabula exemplorum) is a 13th-century Latin collection of moral tales and proverbial wisdom, arranged in alphabetical order of topics, beginning with accidia (laziness) and ending with Xristi ascensio (the ascension of Christ).

The collection was written in France in the last three decades of the thirteenth century. Its contents indicate that it was composed by a mendicant and that he was probably a Franciscan.
