[Elfsea] Need a picture of an illumination

[Vicki Marsh]

Maria,

Using the new Google Scholar and WorldCAT, I found this book in two
libraries on the SMU campus.  One is in the Bridwell libraryin the reference
section (the seminary school) and the other one is in the Hamon Arts
Library.  Since I am a student there, I can probably check it out and we can
look at it at my house. The Hamon Arts library is open Sunday from 1 pm to
midnight. Do you want to go tomorrow?

  I have been looking also. I haven't found it either. I wondered where I
saw the colored one. I am wondering if I am right about the colors? I am
missing a Bestiary book and it might have been in it.

    Hola!

    A few months ago, I tried my hand at painting an milkmaid milking her
cow.  I got the picture from "Women in the Middle Ages" by Francis and
Joseph Giles on page 148.  If you've read the book, then you know that the
pictures are very fuzzy.  I showed it to Duchess Willow and she said the
colors I used were very wrong and I really needed to take a look at a
colored picture.  We went back to her home and we looked through nearly
every book she had on illumination (again, thank you, Your Grace!), but to
no avail, we could not find a color picture of the illumination.  I found
online the MS Bodley Beastairy book, "Bestiary: Being an English Version of
the Bodleian Library, Oxford MS Bodley 764" that this illumination might be
in.

    My question is this....Does anyone have this book or even a color copy
of this illumination?  If so, can you scan the picture for me? I will be
more than happy to prove a CD to burn it on, if need be.

    Thanks!

    Maria
