Ovidius Moralizatus (Ovide Moralisé) is a work of mythography completed by Pierre Bersuire in 1340. In some way, Bersuire legitimized the pagan, classical work of Ovid by transforming it into a literature of "moralization". Bersuire's "moralization" of Ovid in turn influenced Geoffrey Chaucer, who drew on many of its stories for his Canterbury Tales.
