The Aberdeen Bestiary
"A Bestiary is a collection of short descriptions about all sorts of animals, real and imaginary, birds and even rocks, accompanied by a moralizing explanation." The Aberdeen Bestiary appeared in 12th century England and is based on the "Physiologus," which was written in Greek in about the 4th century and "consisted of 48 or 49 chapters about beasts, birds and stones used as a vehicle for explaining Christian dogma." Includes a bibliography. From the University of Aberdeen.
