Overview

In the Middle Ages, people believed that studying animals allowed them to read the Divine Order as written in the natural world. This exquisite facsimile of a bestiary, dating from the mid-13th century and preserved at the Bodleian Library in Oxford since the early 17th century, is one of the finest and most charming examples.
