Poem of stereotypes medieval students had of different nationalities?
Asking for a friend. She says:
"So, years ago my medieval history teacher read to us a poem of stereotypes medieval students had of different nationalities. It is not de Vitry's writings on the subject, which I have found--he says nothing about any of them having tails :) Has anyone ever come across this thing? I would really like to find it again!"
She said she can't remember if it was originally in English, or if it was translated. She thinks she remembers there being something about horns or tails.
