330 .. $a "Just like we do today, people in medieval times struggled with the concept of human
exceptionalism and the significance of other creatures. Nowhere is this more apparent
than in the medieval bestiary. Sarah Kay's exploration of French and Latin bestiaries
offers fresh insight into how this prominent genre challenged the boundary between
its human readers and other animals. Bestiaries present accounts of animals whose
fantastic behaviors should be imitated or avoided, depending on the given trait. In
a highly original argument, Kay suggests that the association of beasts with books
is here both literal and material, as nearly all surviving bestiaries are copied on
parchment made of animal skin, which also resembles human skin. Using a rich array
of examples, she shows how the content and materiality of bestiaries are linked due
to the continual references in the texts to the skins of other animals, as well as
the ways in which the pages themselves repeatedly--and at times, it would seem, deliberately--intervene
in the reading process. A vital contribution to animal studies and medieval manuscript
studies, this book sheds new light on the European bestiary and its profound power
to shape readers' own identities" -- From the publisher
