Description
A Latin Physiologus is on page 1-72 (Roman numeral pagination I-LXII). Illustrated with simple pen drawings, some very rough, some with a brown color wash.
The De avibus (moralized book of birds) of Hugh of Fouilloy is on page 73-149 (Roman numeral pagination LXIII-CXLIX). Not illustrated. Clark aviary group: none.
The combination of the De avibus and a version of the Physiologus and/or a bestiary is called the De bestiis et aliis rebus, usually (and incorrectly) attributed to Hugh of Saint Victor.
