From the Greek Physiologus derived several versions in other languages. In Latin, four versions are known (A, B, C, Y) that date back to the IV-V century. The B version, be it the oldest or not, it was undoubtedly the most successful and influential in subsequent centuries. The comparative study reveals that this version originated the work Dicta Chrysostomi; that the French vernacular bestiaries come basically from version B, and that this version constituted the B-Is, once additions of the Etymologies by Isidoro de Sevilla had been incorporated, so developing the first stage of medieval Latin Bestiaries. - [Abstract]
