Notes: "See the lion! calls for this beautiful, learned and richly illustrated anthology. The book is an appealing introduction to the animals in older iconography, and as such spans several media and materials: among them paintings on canvas, woodcuts, sculptures, reliefs and baptismal fonts in stone, wooden portals, ceramic bowls, lamps and coins of varying metals. Everywhere, it turns out, the animals have been illustrated, and made to carry various forms of symbolism and narrative roles - not infrequently contrasting or complementary ones."--Google translate
