Guillaume le Clerc de Normandie’s Bestiary

During the 2021 IUB Transcribathon (April 15-17, 2021), five teams will collaborate to transcribe a copy of Guillaume le Clerc de Normandie's early thirteenth-century Bestiary, which details the appearance and habits of a series of real and fantastical creatures, as well as moral lessons they each can teach us. This copy, from the Bibliothèque nationale de France fr. 24428, is beautifully illuminated and in a lovely legible bookhand.
