Medieval manuscript of the week is a unicorn! This is an illustration from a late medieval (circa 1550-1560) manuscript produced in Paris. The text is Greek, and the book is rich with eighty illustrations of animals. This image seems to conjure a unicorn by combining a lion with a hint of goat! Isn’t it great?Image source: British Library MS Burney 97; image in the public domain. -- source link
