Description
The De avibus or Aviarium of Hugh of Fouilloy is on folio 47r-66v. Attributed incorrectly to Hugh of Saint Victor (Incipit bestiarius hugonis de sancto victore). Not illustrated, though spaces were left for illustrations on some pages.
A bestiary or Physiologus version is on folio 66v-81r. Incipit: Incipit de naturis bestiarum qui physiologus appliacan.
The combination of the De avibus and a version of the Physiologus and/or a bestiary is called the De bestiis et aliis rebus, usually (and incorrectly) attributed to Hugh of Saint Victor.
