These two works on medieval European human-animal relations discuss punishment of both human and animal partners in bestiality, as well as other punishments meted out to animal perpetrators.

She does not provide specific cases, though. (At least in the fast search I did.) She however refers another work that might be of interest: Podberscek & Beetz (2005). Another work that mentions a few situations and how they were perceived across time is Paul & Serpell (2002). References: * DeMello, M.
