| Abstract | A facing-page translation of the First family Latin bestiary is long overdue as the medieval Second, Third family, and Transitional bestiary versions are all published and translated. This book is a valuable addition to the field of medieval animal studies. A group of expert Latinists brought together for the NLHF Medieval Animals Heritage project present an English translation of London, British Library MS 2 C 12, with kind permission of The British Library. The book aims to recapture the delight and the wonder that readers of the first bestiaries might have enjoyed. Sumptuously illustrated, with a full commentary, including creative approaches and examples for teaching, make this an extraordinarily rich and significant volume. |
