Abstract
CURSORY glance at the volume of plates, reproducing for the first time a Vatican MS. of the early fourteenth century (Cod. Pal. Lat. 1993), might lead one to dismiss it as a mere curiosity, so strange is the jumble of fact and fancy displayed by the drawings. But this would be a mistake, for, as is clearly shown in the learned commentary which accompanies it, the work throws many interesting side-lights on the life and ideas of the late Middle Ages.
