Our final medieval reindeer is from the earliest known version of "Der Naturen Bloeme" by Jacob van Maerlant (c1235-after 1291) from northwest Flanders (c1287). It again emphasises the antlers. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #reindeer #reindeers
The main focus of medieval reindeer illustrations was most definitely their multiple horns as in this 13th century image from the "Liber de natura rerum" by Thomas de Cantimpré (1201-c1272). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #reindeer #reindeers
This image of a medieval reindeer from a c1350 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme" by Jacob van Maerlant (c1235-after 1291) shows the extra sets of antlers reindeer were said to have. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #reindeer #reindeers
This gorgeously antlered reindeer is from the Helmingham Herbal and Bestiary (c1500). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #reindeer #reindeers
