These particular barnacle geese are from the third version of "Topographia Hibernica" created under the supervision of the author, Gerald of Wales (c1146-c1223). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese

Gerald of Wales (c1146-c1223) is said to have developed the idea of barnacle geese generation while on an 1185 tour of Ireland. His descriptions imply that the geese are formed from goose barnacles which were really seeds. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese

In medieval thought, barnacle geese hatched from trees which grew over water. They would hang off the tree by their beaks until mature when they would fall down into the water as seen in this 13th century image. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #barnaclegoose #barnaclegeese
