In addition to the main text of the Bestiary by Hugo of Fouilloy, this Franco-Flemish codex from the last quarter of the 13th century contains five other studies of the natural world: treatises on birds, astronomy, the relation of the soul to the body, and a remarkable series of seven full-page miniatures illustrating the exotic peoples believed to inhabit the world.
Folio 117 belongs to the Bestiary. The miniature depicts human and half-human monsters: Cinomologus; Anthropophagus; Himantopode; Artabatite.
