Eye-skip, or parablepsis: when a scribe miscopies a portion of text because they skip to the next instance of the word on a different line from the one they were copying.

Most bestiaries were unillustrated, since they seemed to exist more for moral & Christian allegories than a "field guide."
The classifying of what is and isn't a bestiary is very confusing--this first essay just is too scholarly based for a layperson's "intro."
They seem to be like supplementary bonus features to many MS's, the way they were inserted into some after already having existed as "pamphlets" of sorts.
