The wondrous creatures of the bestiary inspired delight and fascination by mixing the familiar with the strange, the local with the distant, and the dangerous with the desirable. The animals are presented in the manner of an encyclopedia. Generally, each entry provides a physical description of the creature, followed by notes on its location, habitat, behaviors, and its allegorical significance. Bestiaries were meant to reveal to medieval Christians the wonder of creation and the hidden meanings they believed were built by God into the natural world.

Goats
Wild goats possess sharp eyesight, love high mountains, and feed in valleys. The text interprets them with the help of the Song of Songs, a pastoral love poem included in both the Hebrew and Christian Bible. It directly compares the goat’s characteristics with Christ’s majesty.

Apes
Here, the illuminator depicts a scene from the text: when an ape has twins, it loves one and hates the other. If hunted, the mother holds the beloved infant in her arms and carries the hated one on her back. When she is too tired to run upright, she drops the beloved child while the hated offspring clings to her back.

This Satyr—associated with the Greek god Dionysus by its pine-cone topped thyrsus—is classified in the bestiary as a type of ape.
Panther (right)
Here the panther invites a comparison to Christ by emitting a sweet-smelling roar following a three-day slumber. In response, a demonic dragon buries itself in “the caverns of the earth.”

Deer
Deer in bestiaries were associated with Christ, especially when shown trampling a snake (symbol of Satan), or running to “Christ, the true spring.” But here, a stag and doe walk side by side in front of three trees, without these points of reference.

Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) in 1902
Goat (left)
The he-goat’s pupil may be shown in the corner of its eye because this animal’s eyes were thought to be so full of lust that they always look sideways.
Bull (right)
This bull or a bullock (young bull) was thought to have skin so thick that arrows could not penetrate it, and a mouth that can open as wide as its head.

Worksop Bestiary
Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) in 1902

Although one frightened mouse has managed to scamper out of the frame, the cat’s alert posture leaves little doubt that the predator will catch its prey.
Mouse and Mole (right)
The first rodent featured on this folio is a mouse nibbling at Eucharistic wafers, apparently proving the need for the cats on the previous folio. The second rodent is a top-down view of a mole.

The fabled leucrotta galloping across this folio has the chest and mane of a lion, the cloven hooves of a camel or dromedary, and a horse’s head.

Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) in 1902
Vultures
Thought to be capable of conceiving without copulation, vultures could symbolize the Immaculate Conception; as carrion-eaters, however, they could also symbolize sinners who follow the Devil.

Swan (left)
Swans, like the one here shown swimming confidently with a fish in its beak, were considered good omens by sailors because of their buoyancy.
Cranes (right)
This crane demonstrates its vigilance during the night watch by holding a red stone in its claw, which would startle the bird awake if it becomes sleepy and drops it.

Parrot (left)
The illuminator emphasizes the exotic parrot’s long tail and bright green coloring described in the text.
Stork (right)

Worksop Bestiary
Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) in 1902
Halcyon (left)
The seas were thought to calm for fourteen days after the halcyon lays its eggs on the shore, which is why sailors refer to fair weather as halcyon days.

Included in the section on birds, the bats here display their distinctive characteristics with membranes spread and four feet.

Quail (left)
The bestiary tells us that the quail, depicted here with red and green feathers, was a migratory bird that suffers from the falling sickness (epilepsy), and eats poisonous seeds.
Peacock and Cock (right)
This peacock may reflect comparisons of the bird with tail open to prideful preachers, and the advice offered by bestiaries that the peacock “keep its tail down.” Below, a cock illustrates a description of the power of the cock’s crow, thought to calm storms and frighten robbers.

Caladrius
The pure white caladrius bird turns away from a sick person when he is going to die, but if, as here, the bird looks directly at him, it takes on the person’s sickness and burns it off in the sun, thus curing the sufferer.

Pelican (left)
Moving counter-clockwise, this illumination represents the mother pelican as a symbol for Christ: first, she is attacked by her chicks (top left), then slays them, and finally revives them by piercing her breast and feeding them her own blood.
Night Raven or Night Owl (right)
The night raven shown here betrays the bestiary’s anti-Semitism when it equates the bird with Jews who reject the light of Christ—though it also connects the bird to Christ, who wants to redeem sinners associated with darkness.

The legendary phoenix’s cycle of death and rebirth symbolizes Christ in the bestiary: on the left, the aged bird gathers sweet-smelling spices to line its funeral pyre; on the right, it rises from the flames.

Worksop Bestiary
Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) in 1902

This terrifying ridge-backed beast devouring a corpse is not easily recognizable as a crocodile; after the kill, it weeps over its prey, and is thus an effective symbol of hypocrisy.

Molting Serpent
Beginning a long section on the “nature of serpents,” this miniature illustrates how a snake molts: it sloughs off its skin by scraping its body against the walls of a narrow slit in a rock (or, in this case, gate) as Christians are urged to slough off their sinful selves with Christ’s help.
