The Mark of the Beast: The Medieval Bestiary in Art, Life, and Literature.

By: HASSIG, Debra (ed.).

Price: $40.00

Publisher: New York:, Routledge, 1999.: 1999

Seller ID: S12997

ISBN: 041592894X

8vo. xxi, 219 pp. Illus., index. Printed wrappers. Near fine.

It is indisputable that the bestiaries were an important medieval contribution to didactic religious literature. But far from comprising an isolated, specialist's genre available only to the religious and literate elite, bestiaries addressed concerns central to virtually all walks of Christian life.
