WHITE, T.H. THE BOOK OF BEASTS; Being a Translation from a Latin Bestiary of the Twelth Century. Made and Edited by T.H. White.
London: Jonathan Cape. [1955].
Third printing. Octavo, original brown cloth titled and decorated in red and gold. 296 pp., Index, Bibliography, Illustrated throughout. Although uncredited, the Illustrations are very much in the style of Pauline Baynes, illustrator of the NARNIA b ooks and others. "With immense erudition, wit, grace, and a singular lack of condescension, the author illuminates literary, scientific, historical, linguistic and other aspects of the bestiarist's catalog. He further enhances the volume w i t h i n f o r m ative discussions of the history of the bestiary from its origins in remote oral traditions; through Herodotus, Pliny and Aristotle; during the medieval period and the Renaissance; and up to Sir Thomas Browne's Vulgar Errors (1646 ). B ot h a mu si ng a nd amazing, The Book of Beasts is not only a rich survey of the proto-zoology on which much of our later science is based, but also a revealing, illustrated examination of how pre-scientific man perceived the earth's creat ure s." Pr ev iou s o wne r's si gna ture, date & place of aquisition in pen on verso of front free endpaper, a few small notes in pencil, a near fine copy in a nice dust wrapper, price-clipped, slightly spoted on the rear panel & showing a few sh ort clos ed t ear s.
