Our final medieval tranes is from another version of "Der Naturen Bloeme", this one dated 1300-1325. This one makes me think of a small terrier wearing a headscarf more than a helmeted rabbit. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #tranes

Despite being described as basically a helmeted rabbit, this particular medieval tranes appears to have cloven hooves as well as a dog-like body and head. It is from a c1350 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #tranes

As an Australian, this particular medieval tranes immediately makes me think of Ned Kelly and his home-made armour. This image is from a 13th century version of "Liber de natura rerum". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #tranes

This week's medieval beast is the tranes which is described as being like a rabbit but with a natural helmet on its head which makes it stronger and fiercer. This tranes is from a c1287 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #tranes
