JumblePublishingThis week's medieval beast is the giraffe, also known as the cameleopard at this time. It was said to have the appearance of a camel but with the spots of a leopard.
This (almost correct) giraffe is from a very early 14th century version of "Der Naturen Bloeme" by Jacob van Maerlant (1235-c1291). #medievalbeasts #medievalmanuscripts #medievalart #giraffe #giraffes
