De Natura Avium; De Pastoribus et Ovibus; Bestiarium; Mirabilia Mundi; Philosophia Mundi; On the Soul (illuminated manuscript; unknown Franco-Flemish; texts by Hugo of Fouilloy and Willia...; after 1277; J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, Los Angeles county, Calif...; 83.MR.173; MS Ludwig XV)

Note: 203 folios + 2 flyleaves, 11 full-page miniatures, 2 half-page miniatures, 76 quarter-page miniatures, 5 decorated borders, 5 large decorated initials, 3 inter-column miniatures. This manuscript is a compilation that includes two rare treatises by Hugo de Fouilloy in addition to the Bestiary. This manuscript, thought to have been made in the 1270s in Flanders, perhaps Thérouanne; it is stylistically close to contemporary elegant Parisian illuminations produced at the court of King Louis IX, which are characterized by gracefully gesturing figures, vigorous outlines, and gold-patterned backgrounds. The first text is the Aviary, which uses the characteristics of different types of birds to make moral points. The second, Treatise on Flocks and Shepherds, constructs a metaphorical discussion of Christ as an abbot, taking care of his flock, and the abbot and monks in a monastery caring for their charges. Both of Hugo's Latin texts were intended for teaching lay brothers, those who performed manual work in a monastery. In addition to the main text of the bestiary, this manuscript contains five other studies of the natural world: treatises on birds, astronomy, the relation of the soul to the body, and a remarkable series of seven full-page miniatures illustrating the exotic peoples believed to inhabit the world.
