Title:
A Medieval Book of Beasts. The Second-Family Bestiary
Author:
Clark, W. B.
Location:
Woodbridge
Notes:
  • CCCC MS 22 Notes Bestiaries such as CCCC MS 22 contain a Physiologus-B text appended with chapters from Isidore of Seville, Etymologiae. Texts like the Corpus Bestiary are followed in Second Family Bestiaries. Discusses select B-Isidore texts, pp. 24-5, 35, 40, 41, 142 n. 119
  • CCCC MS 53 Discusses the iconography of the sick lion eating a monkey in CCCC MS 53. Gives a detailed description of the manuscript. Notes that it has a two column text rather than the single column common in English Bestiaries. This Bestiary introduces some new iconographic features. It is combined with a Psalter. The possible use of both the Psalter and Bestiary as teaching texts is discussed, pp. 60, 79-80, 109, 226-7
