| Story | A bird's beak, rabbit ears, human arms and hands, goat's feet and a squirrel's tail: the Sant'Elena Magical Beast is a fantastic assemblage of other animals. A chimera, a blend of living elements and animals, a symbol, or simply a bizarre creature, a figment of the imagination and irony of Ages erroneously deemed Dark, the Middle Ages. A figure that aroused astonishment and wonder in 13th- and 14th-century readers, just as in 21st-century wine lovers. |
