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. - [Payne, p.15]
The bestiary is on folios 1r-44r.
Numerous (112) miniatures in brown, green, and red, on alternately blue and red backgrounds. Small initials in red.
