Word: speculum literature Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin speculum (“mirror”) in the title of these works. 1. A medieval literary genre, popular from the 12th through the 16th centuries, inspired by the urge to encompass encyclopedic knowledge within a single work.

A. Armstrong describes Cambyses as an example of speculum''' literature, in which the “naiveness” of characterization reflects the rhetoric of statecraft (p. 294).
