The fish section in Engelbert of Admont’s Tractatus de naturis animalium (ca. 1250–1331)
Reinardus. Yearbook of the International Reynard Society, 2009; Series: Volume 21, Issue 1
Engelbert's unedited work on animals is delivered to posterity in a limited number of manuscripts. The second part of the treatise that is discussed here closely follows the structure of Isidore of Seville’s encyclopaedia. In order to illustrate Engelbert’s work method and the emphasis of this part, the article focuses on the fourth category (de piscibus) which is an interesting section for a number of reasons. The main sources are specified and the text is compared to similar writings. Finally the edition of ten chapters out of 53 from this section completes the study. - [Abstract]
