Noted art historian Christian Heck explains that the prevalence of animals in illuminated manuscripts reflects their importance in medieval thought, an importance due in part to the agricultural society of that age, in which a variety of species--and not just docile pets--were the daily companions of man. The main part of the book explores the complex and fascinating iconography of the individual creatures most frequently depicted by medieval miniaturists. It is arranged in the manner of a proper bestiary, with essays on one hundred animals alphabetized by their Latin names. The selection includes a number of creatures that would now be considered fantastic, including the griffin, the manticore, and of course the fabled unicorn, tamable only by a gentle maiden"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Animals in art. 650 0 $a Animals, Mythical, in art. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval $x Themes, motives. 700 1 $a Cordonnier, R婉my. 765 0 $a Heck, Christian, 1949- $t Bestiaire m婉di婉val $d Paris : Citadelles & Mazenod, 2011. $h 619 p. : ill. ; 40 cm. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917011012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F5373763E3011E4861469EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
