Physiologus: On the Natures of Twelve Animals

English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

The 'Physiologus' is a well-known ancient and medieval text with numerous English translations based on the original Greek or various Latin recensions. However, the specific 1647 edition titled 'Physiologus de Naturis XII Animalium' refers to a specific Latin version of this tradition. While general translations of the 'Physiologus' exist (such as Michael J. Curley's 1979 translation of the Greek text), there is no evidence of a translation specifically of this 1647 Latin text into English. Therefore, this would be a first translation from this specific source text.
