"The bestiary, or Book of beasts"--Introduction
内容説明・目次
内容説明
Bestiaries are particularly characteristic of medieval England, and give a unique insight into the medieval mind. Richly illuminated and lavishly produced, they were luxury objects for noble families. Their three-fold purpose wasto provide a natural history of birds, beasts and fishes, to draw moral examples from animal behaviour (the industrious bee, the stubborn ass), and to reveal a mystical meaning -the phoenix, for instance, as a symbol of Christ's resurrection. This Bestiary, MS. Bodley 764, was produced around the middle of the thirteenth century and is of singular beauty and interest. The 136 illuminations are reproduced in full colour to the same size and in the same place as the original manuscript, and the text, translated with wit and style from the original Latin, is fitted around them.
RICHARD BARBER's other books include Myths and Legends of the British Isles, Dictionary of Fabulous Beasts, Arthurian Legends: An Anthology and King Arthur: Heroand Legend.
