It has been almost twenty-five years since, in 1996, I defended my history thesis, Images and knowledge of the unicorn from the end of the Middle Ages to the 19th century. I then quite quickly abandoned any idea of ??making a real career as a historian, but I kept from this interlude a taste for old papers and somewhat marginal themes – in the literal sense of the term, because, in the manuscripts medieval, the unicorn is often in the margins. ... A blog for everything that couldn't fit in my book on unicorns, a few more chapters, a few passages that I deleted to make room, and a lot of images because I had to choose.
