Synopsis
Fables about wondrous animals have long beguiled humankind. From among the sirens, cockatrices and mermaids that captured the Pre-Renaissance imagination, the unicorn emerges as perhaps the most beautiful of the "shapes that haunt thoughts' wildernesses." With its perfect white mane and long, curly horn, it was the very epitome of purity itself. To the treacherous states of medieval Italy, the horn of a unicorn could be worth twenty times its weight in gold for its legendary ability to protect its owner from poisoning.
This enchanting book traces the myths and legends that surround this fabulous creature. It follows the romance of the fables through the various threads of history (the popes and princes who treasured their horns), the fine paintings and tapestries that depicted them, and the great alchemists who filled their bestiaries with them. It is an essential read for all those fascinated by this remarkable creature.
