Basket of Fruit by Caravaggio, 1599

Dear friends,

I wasn’t at my computer this week. However, I have published a page entitled Beast literature. It contains a list of most of the posts I have written on Beast fables, but not the fables themselves. These are listed on a separate page.

Missing is a post about the various naturalists whose descriptions were used to tell about animals. Herodotus was the first to describe animals, but most fabulists and naturalists used a book entitled the Physiologus to obtain the information they required.

I will post this short note and will return to my normal activities as soon as I feel better.

Love to everyone ♥
