Images shine light on ancient Aberdeen Bestiary


High definition images of an 800-year-old manuscript that once belonged to Henry VIII have revealed previously unknown details about its purpose.

Known as the Aberdeen Bestiary, the book was created in England around 1200 and features tales of animals to illustrate what were essential beliefs.

Researchers had thought it was commissioned for a high status client.
