The widespread transmission of bestiaries and the Physiologus, with their allegorical animal narratives, demonstrates the interconnectedness of medieval Europe like few other corpuses. Text and image documents from this tradition spread to Northern Europe, bringing their potential for innovation to literary production there. This monograph focuses on the routes taken by the material heading north and its local cultural impact.
