Description: This text is a
translation and facsimile of a copy of the Physiologus attributed to Bishop
Theobald (Theobaldus) which was printed in Cologne in 1492. "The author is
believed to have been abbot of Monte Cassino A.D. 1022-1035, and a description
of the abbey is appended with illustrations." The text of the 1492 edition
is taken from an earlier (unidentified) manuscript.
In addition to
the facsimile and translation of Theobald's Physiologus, the text also includes
an introduction by Rendell, an article (originally published in Italian in
1925) on a related Physiologus manuscript, and a transcription of three
versions of the twelve chapter Physiologus. The digital edition includes the
facsimile and all of the text.
