Each volume focuses on a particular theme or subject as represented by medieval artists. Often, as in the case of the imaginary beasts that readers will encounter in this volume, artists depicted that which they did not see or know but which was nonetheless shaped by the prevailing beliefs, fears, and rudimentary science of the time. In other cases, manuscript illuminators recorded what they indeed did see—which, centuries later, reveals much about the world in which they lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume features vivid and charming details from the wealth of manuscripts in the collections of the J.
