Great set of essays. Only few did not impress me.

Re-reading this book was the best thing I've ever done in the last few months. It is still one of the best sources to learn about medieval bestiaries.

Usually books of essays offer only some texts which can really help us in a research, not this one. I could take many important information from almost all of the essays.
