- Description
-
- This manuscript contains a bestiary from the 'second family' of bestiaries (see James, The Bestiary (1928), pp. 15-16) with additions from Gerald of Wales's (b. c. 1146, d. 1223) Topographia Hibernica (Topography of Ireland) on Irish birds. Contents: ff. 1r-74v: Bestiary, beginning: 'Bestiarum vocabulum proprie convenit leonibus' and ending, 'ex eius calce multitudo nascatur'. It ends imperfectly with Isidore of Seville's (b. c. 560, d. 636) Etymology section devoted to plants. The text is closely related to Bodleian Library, Bodley MS 764 (see Willene B. Clark, A Medieval Book of Beasts (2006), pp. 75-76). Decoration:106 miniatures in colours of animals. Large initial on a rectangular ground in colours (f. 1r). Large initials in blue with red pen-flourishing, or in red with blue pen-flourishing. Rubrics in red. Notes in margin for the illuminator.
