Реальные и мифологические животные из старинных книг.
Реальные и мифологические животные из старинных книг.
В старинных книгах часто встречаешь картинки с полумифическими животными-
реальность смешивается с вымыслом, одновременно присутствуют черты "настоящих" мифологических существ и реальных животных.

'Das Tierbuch des Petrus Candidus' (animal book), this 1460 Vatican Library Manuscript by the Italian humanist, Pier Candido Decembrio.
Эта книга хранится в библиотеке Ватикана и картинок из нее в инете очень мало, собирала по крохам из разных источников, спасибо bibliodyssey за линк на библиотеку Зальцбурга, но там их тоже мало. Картинки в книгу были добавлены через 100 лет после ее написания, к сожалению- потеряла линк со ссылкой на предполагаемого художника.

Known as 'Das Tierbuch des Petrus Candidus' (animal book), this 1460 Vatican Library Manuscript by the Italian humanist, Pier Candido Decembrio, continues the tradition of early natural history books in the manner of Pliny the Elder, the Physiologus and Thomas of Cantimpré which served as Candido's sources.
Commissioned by Ludovico Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua, 'Das Tierbuch' describes all known real and mythical animals, but the wonderful illustrations were a 16th century addition to the manuscript. One way we know this is because the rhinoceros drawing is an exact copy of Albrecht Dürer's famous 1515 stylised depiction of the animal.
The colourful images above (the top one has been background cleaned and only the third one can be enlarged) come from Austria's University of Salzburg Book of the Month series where other interesting critters can be found. Their illustrations were scanned from a 1984 reprint of 'Das Tierbuch des Petrus Candidus'.
