| Description | |
|
"This is a much more modestly produced Second Family bestiary. Although the text is standard, it contains innumerable errors of transcription, and of the 112 framed miniatures some are eccentric and others display a distinctly comic character... The illustrations employ no gold and are painted in brown, green and red on alternately blue and crimson backgrounds." - The bestiary is on folios 1r-44r. |
