A cryptozoological classic from Ulwencreutz Media. This book was
originally privately published in 1886 in Edinburgh. In this
publication, Goldsmid brought together rare treatises written in
the 1600's which discussed strange and mythical creatures. These
fascinating works attempted to separate fact from fiction. While we
may not today reach the same conclusions, they provide us with a
rare glimpse into the minds of those early scholars who were
struggling to understand the world around them. The treatises were
written by George Caspard Kirchmayer (On the Basilisk; On the
Unicorn; On the Phoenix; On the Behemoth; the Leviathan; On the
Dragon; On the Spider), Hermann Grube (On the Sting of the
Tarantula), and Isaac Schoockius (On Chameleons; On Bears licking
their Offspring into perfect Shape; On Satyrs, Mermaids, Men with
Tails, etc.).
