It is not part of the project to provide a definitive edition of the text of the Bestiary, but to help readers by providing a transcription and translation of the text. Currently the following editorial conventions obtain:
The whale, flying fish, dolphins.
Folio mark 'll' in top right corner. This represents folio 2 of quire 'L', but folio 1 is missing. Initials, type 2.
COMMENTARY
Text
Lice, fleas, ticks. Fish are reptiles because they crawl as they swim.
Comment
Major initial 'P', type 3, marks the start of fish. 'V' in margin is colour indicator for dark pink. A page is missing after f.72v which should contain the end of fish and the start of whale. The Ashmole Bestiary has a fine picture of a whale in this location (f. 86v).
