	A '''bestiary''' is a collection of short descriptions about all sorts of birds, beasts and [[animal]]s, both real and [[mythology\|imaginary]]. Often bestiary is too narrow a description, and the [[medieval]] term "natural history" is more apt as [[gemstone\|stones]], minerals, [[herb]]s and trees might also be studied, especially in later periods. The bestiary became a popular form in [[England]] in the [[12th Century]]. One example of the late medieval version of a bestiary is [[~~John_Maplet~~]]'s [[~~A_Greene_Forest~~]].

	Two schools of medieval bestiary are known, each descended from early [[Greek]] authors. The first type is very factual, transmitting myths only through ignorance. Best known are the works of [[Pliny the Elder]], but a plethora of translations and works based on extended or condensed versions of this existed.
