Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces El libro de los gatos, an early 15th-century translation of the Latin beast fable collection by Odo of Cheriton, an English monk. The collection is important not only because it is the sole Spanish rendition of Odo's work but also because it provides a valuable insight into the representation of animals and human nature in medieval Spanish literature.
