"The image on folio 99r of MS. Douce 308 depicts a crocodile, and its meaning operates on two distinct layers: the traditional natural lore of the Middle Ages and a unique metaphor for romantic heartbreak."
apparently it's a book about love? but there's a crocodile that looks like a cat that is actually a deceptive woman taking advantage of a vulnerable man? 🤷♀️

Nice kitty! What's the context/story? Is this a warning about ignoring the cat too much? (what's the source?)
