Week 4: Images, Part 1

Thing #11

I love this image (from an illuminated manuscript of the Late Middle Ages) of a dog reading a book. He looks so serious; I assume he's reading a treatise on the best way to bark at squirrels.

Titled 'Lesender Fuchs mit klerikaler Kopfbedeckung' by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, Lieven van Lathem, the work was created around the year 1460. From: Book of Hours/ Livre d'heures/ Stundenbuch - Utrecht, Master of Catherine of Cleves, Lieven van Lathem (illuminators); Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum (MMW), Den Haag: Ms. 10 F 50, fol. 6r (http://www.literatuurgeschiedenis.nl/literatuurgeschiedenis.asp?ID=7)
