A magnificent and superbly illustrated bestiary.

Whale, two-headed serpents, dragons: in these excerpts from Brunetto Latini's Book of Treasures, we see how medieval bestiaries placed real and fantastical creatures on the same plane. These strange, eccentric depictions reveal a rich and dense imaginarium, tacitly questioning our own representations: how will our imagination and current knowledge be perceived in 700 years? Through her incredibly delicate illustrations, Rébecca Dautremer breathes life into these charming excerpts, offering us an unforgettable journey into the heart of medieval legend and thought.
