A general update, with several corrections and many new items. The number of items in the bibliography has shot up to over 700, with no end in sight.

The first in a series of digital editions of Bestiary-related books and articles is now available. This is Physiologus: A Metrical Bestiary of Twelve Chapters by Bishop Theobald , edited by Alan Wood Rendell in 1928.

There is now a Search facility available, which will search all pages on this site. The “eye” symbol on the toolbar will take you directly to the search page. The Bibliography and Manuscript pages have also been updated.

There is a new article ready. The Bibliography count is up to around 275. A few of the Beast pages are at least partially ready. I have done much work on the database and the database program, the results of which should be here “soon.”

The Table of Contents has (finally) received a little attention. A few more Bibliography items have been added. Most of the basic structure of the site is up now, though far too many of the pages have no real information yet.
