An early printed edition of the works of Hugh of St. Victor. Many works were falsely attributed to him.

Volume 2 of this three volume edition contains the De bestiis et aliis rebus. It is in four books: Book I is the De avibus, and moralized text on birds by Hugh of Fouilloy. Books II and III are versions of the Latin Physiologus. Book IV is an alphabetic dictionary of Latin terms, many relating to animals.

An extract containing just the De bestiis et aliis rebus is available in the Digital Text Library.
