Text in Latin. Incipit (p. [21]): Incipit liber de naturis bestiarum. The preceding pages contain the story of creation from Genesis (Genesis I, 1-28; I, 31-II, 2) and a section (beginning: Omnib[us] animantib[us] Adam p[ri]mus uocabula indidit) from Isidore of Seville's Etymologiae (XII, 1-8).
M.R. James places Ms. Asmole 1511 with the 12th cent. family of bestiaries which are much-expanded classified rearrangements of the 4th cent. Latin Physiologus. Cf. The bestiary / edited by M.R. James. 1928. p. 13ff.
