{"product_id":"9780712357906","title":"Medieval Monsters","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe medieval world was teeming with monsters--on the edges of manuscript pages, on the fringes of maps, not to mention crowding in from all sides of the known world. Believed to dwell in exotic, remote areas, these inexplicable parts of God's creation aroused fear, curiosity, and wonder in equal measure. Powerfully captured in the illustrations that filled bestiaries, travel books, and even Bibles and devotional works, these misshapen brutes continue to delight audiences today with their vitality and humor.\u003cbr\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e Filled with satyrs, sea creatures, griffins, dragons, and devils, \u003ci\u003eMedieval Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e is a cornucopia of illustrations from medieval manuscripts that are at once fascinating, grotesque, and amusing. This successor to the British Library's \u003ci\u003eMedieval Cats\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMedieval Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible and informative guide to bewitching demons, blemmyae, Cyclops, and multi-headed beasts of all sorts. Over one hundred wondrous and terrifying images show how strange creatures sparked artists' imaginations to incredible heights, while offering fascinating insights into the medieval mind.","brand":"The British Library Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050697965808,"sku":"9780712357906","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780712357906_p0.jpg?v=1763623191","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780712357906","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
