Well, I just read Beauvais' definition and it has nothing to do with constellations. It's a description of a giraffe.
Beauvais was an encyclopedist, not an astronomer, and he did not associate his definition of a giraffe with any constellations.
Description of a giraffe by Vincent de Beauvais:
"Camelopardus est dictus ex quo, cum sit ut pardus albis maculis super aspersus; collo equo similis; pedibus bubalis; capite tamen camelo similaris est. Hunc Ethiopia gignit."
And comments about it:
Le reste de la description est copié mot a mot sur celle de Pline. [The rest of the description is copied word-for-word from Piny.]
Enfin, dans le chapire 97 du livre XIX, l'auteur de Speculum naturale donne du Camelopardalis une description plus exacte et plus étendue que les deux premieres. Il le nomme cette fois Orasius.
[Later... he calls the giraffe by the name "Orasius".]
No mention of constellations. You owe Koen an apology.
