Encyclopaedia Maxima Mundi



Encyclopaedia Maxima Mundi, created by Effenberg and Talbot, is a multi-volume work detailing many notable people and occurrences throughout the history of the continent and the world in general. Fragments of this fictional book are sometimes used as introductions to stories or chapters in Sapkowski's works. It was generally considered to be a piece of Nilfgaardian propaganda and the information in it is highly selective, subjective and not particularly scientifically rigourous. Those fragments have, so far, apparently featured the following:


 * Witchers
 * Peter Evertsen
 * Dominik Bombastus Houvenaghel
 * Flourens Delannoy
 * Mandrake
 * Ithlinne
 * Stella Congreve
 * Kerack

Excepts
Note that this first excerpt has been inexpertly translated from the French translation of the original Polish!
 * Kerack, city located in the Northern Kingdom of Cidaris, at the mouth of the Adalatte river. Formerly capital of the independent kingdom of K.; following the inept rule and the extinction of the ruling line, the kingdom dwindled, lost its standing and was eventually annexed and divided among its neighbours. The city has a port, a few factories, a lighthouse; It has close to 2000 habitants.
