Reviews

Featured in Atlas Obscura

"This is a huge and beautiful book that feels almost like a trip to the Cloisters between two covers."
-New York Daily News

"Rarely have earnest scholarship and sheer wonder come together as comfortably as they have here. And as magical as the original artworks surely are, this unique volume is literally better than the real thing, since it allows us to ogle them closely."
-Fine Art Connoisseur

"Every year I try to reserve the adjective "stunning" for one book. This is it."
-The Seattle Times holiday gift guide

"Heck and Cordonnier's creation allows modern readers to understand a little of the preciousness of a medieval book. ... The Grand Medieval Bestiary feels magical, valuable, and important."
-New York Journal of Books
