@devilscustard A full bestiary? Now that would be something. It would have to include this manticore, though!

No, I don't have a podcast to promote. Or a book coming out. Or a documentary being screened. No exhibition opening to attend and I'm not choosing the name of a raven.

Here instead are some medieval manticores. The end.

No, I didn't think so.

Here's a beautiful 11th-century manuscript (if such things really exist).

Arundel MS 155 is a Psalter written by Eadui Basan for Christ Church, Canterbury.
