Let's rate some bulls
#71
Hi,
Here is another example of the investigated bulls with lyre-formed horns. (Reg.Lat 1862). Quite a scientific work of middle ages!
 
As much as I can understand from Latin -this is a special type of bulls, which has black and white eyes and is a monster.
Eats people. 
Its name in Latin is (J)Ibelua lapidenis. Please, correct me if I am wrong, since I am amateur in Latin.

Added, that's a top 5 entry.

Always interesting, those manuscripts that have both bulls and Moses: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Facing right but it's got a cool haircut. There's also Aries eating from a tree.
