Description: |
Miniature of ostrichs, illustrating the text that ostriches will not lay their eggs until they see that the constellation Pleiedes has risen, usually in June. Then they lay their eggs and bury them in the sand. The warmth of the summer is enough to hatch the eggs. |
Origin: |
England, S. (Salisbury?) |
