A manicule, but make it a unicorn. A unicornicule?
This wonderful little surprise appeared in the margins of a 1505 book of English canon law.

This 16th-century artwork is of a 'haut', which are said to live in the trees. It has been identified with species of three-toed sloths such as Bradypus variegatus which are found in the forests of Central and South America. This artwork comes from 'Cosmographie universelle' (1575) by the French explorer and writer Andre Thevet (1516-1590). The book describes the history and geography of the lands in which Thevet had travelled. The two volumes contain over 1000 pages divided into 23 books. This woodcut is from chapter XIII of book XXI.

Law library at Iowa state Capitol. Pictures certainly don’t catch its beauty.

Another entry for our “dragons and unicorns” week: Two unicorns hold up a crest decorated with two more little unicorns, again from Constitutiones provinciales ecclesiae Anglicanae.
The caption reads: Fortuna opes aufferre non animu potest.

This 19th-century artwork depicts a scene from 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' by French satirist Francois Rabelais (c.1494-1553). Pantagruel, the son of the giant Gargantua, is shown playing with cattle as a baby. The full title of the work is: 'The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of the Very Renowned Pantagruel King of the Dipsodes, Son of the Great Giant Gargantua'. The story was published in five parts from 1532, with the final part published posthumously in around 1564. This artwork, by French artist Gustave Dore (1832-1883) was published in 'Oeuvres de Rabelais' (1873).
