Oxford, Bodleian MS Bodley 614, fol. 44v

A heavily-illustrated, twelfth century English manuscript most famous for containing a Latin version of "The Wonders of the East."

 

It is associated with London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius B. v, although it is hard to tell whether the Tiberius is the direct parent or a distant grandparent of 614.

 

These illustrations depict (I think) the honest men and (for sure) the bearded ladies who are huntresses.
