IMAGE number: BL3740022
Image title: Royal MS 12 C XIX, f.30r Parandrus and Yale, from 'Bestiary', c.1200-10 (ink, colour & gold on vellum)
Artist: English School, (13th century) / English
Location: British Library, London, UK
Medium: ink, colour and gold on vellum
Date: c. 1200 AD - c. 1210 AD (C12th AD - C13th AD)

Image description: According to Morgan 1982, the manuscript is stylistically related to the manuscripts of the Life of St Cuthbert , Cambridge, Trinity College o. I. 64, and Yates Thompson 26 (formerly Additional 39943), produced in Durham. Illustrations are classed as transitional between First and Second Families of Bestiaries by James (1928). The parandrus or tarandos was an animal from medieval bestiaries. They were ox-sized, long-haired, with antlers and cloven hooves, but could change the colour of their fur to obtain camouflage. The scientific name of the reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, is derived from the name tarandos.
