De Natura Avium; De Pastoribus et Ovibus; Bestiarium; Mirabilia Mundi; Philosophia Mundi; On the Soul
A thirteenth-century illuminated bestiary-style manuscript compiled from several Latin natural history and philosophical texts, dated 1277 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, likely made for a monastic or aristocratic reader. The pictures are small framed scenes in gold, blue and rose panels with plain figures in flat colour, offering a designer a model for medieval manuscript framing and naive figure drawing.
