Hardback. Condizione: New. Throughout the Middle Ages, enormously popular bestiaries presented people with descriptions of rare and unusual animals, typically paired with a moral or religious lesson. The real and the imaginary blended seamlessly in these books-at the time, the existence of a rhinoceros was as credible as a unicorn or dragon.
