Dear Kristin, hi there! I was very interested to hear about your doctoral research project; it sounds fascinating. For details of bestiaries, treatises on natural history and the use of natural history in sermon literature, you may want to have a look at the following: Clark, Willene B., and Meradith T. McMunn, eds, _Beasts and birds of the Middle Ages : the bestiary and its legacy_ (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, c1989) Friedmann, Herbert. _A bestiary for Saint Jerome: animal symbolism in European religious art_ (Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1980, c1979) George, Wilma B., _The naming of the beasts : natural history in the medieval bestiary_ (London: Duckworth, 1991) Hope this helps. Buon lavoro, Domenico Zanre'. ___________________________________________________________ Dr Domenico Zanre' Department of Italian University of Bristol 19 Woodland Road Bristol BS8 1TE UNITED KINGDOM Tel/Fax: ++44 (0)117 9288143 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
