Delightful Pictures
By Melinda on July 20, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The cover features one of my favorite Getty manuscripts. Inside are photos of beasts from a variety of Getty mss, not just bestiaries. This is another way of getting familiar with their collection. The captions are good, but the photos of the ms. pages are the strength of this book.

A Beautiful Book
By Alison Cole on January 27, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
For anyone into Medieval illuminations, this book offers page after page of delicious reproductions from Medieval illuminated manuscripts and books. The text and reproductions detail animals - both mythical, fantastical and real in a most enjoyable book. I look forward to purchasing others in the series.

a charming little volume
By Edward J. Gallagher on March 1, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Elizabeth Morrison's BEASTS reproduces illuminations from medieval manuscripts in the Getty Collection depicting various real and imagined animals. The demon trying to tempt Thomas Aquinas and the scene of the animals paying homage to the Christ Child struck me as especially noteworthy.

A fantastic book of fantastic creatures.
By Eclectic Reader on April 9, 2010
Format: Hardcover
As a big fan of medieval bestiaries, I can say that this book knocked me out. The Getty Museum has a world-class collection, and both the illustrations and text -- written and compiled by an expert curator -- are illuminating, to say the least. Of course, I'd also recommend a visit to the Getty, to see some of the originals on display there. Even a book as beautiful as this can't do them all justice.
