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 CantimprΓ© (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
