French Medieval Manuscripts

skysnail выложила ссылку на сайт со старинными картинками, за что ей большое спасибо. Там много разных тем: от астрологии до гербариев, есть даже пчеловодство.





Меня же больше всего заинтересовали картинки быта и фантастические создания, в существование которых тогдашние люди искренне верили.
