The Medieval Bestiary is an absolutely marvelous Web site dedicated to Medieval art of catolaguing beasts, both real and imagined. The site has searcahble index, a digital collection of texts, and a vast encyclopdia of animals such as the Caladrius ("...an all-white bird that lives in the king's house"), the he-goat ("A beast so hot that its blood dissolves diamond") and the onocentaur ("The upper part is rational; the lower part is exceedingly wild.")
