EPIGRAPH: Bestiary: Books that had a great vogue between the
eleventh and the fourteenth centuries describing the
supposed habits and peculiarities of animals both
real and fabled, with much legendary lore and moral
symbolism. They ultimately derived from the Greek
Physiologus, compiled by an unknown author before
the middle of the second century.
