Titre: Snail from Sarmatian Sea, Legendary Creature
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Woodcut of a snail from the Sarmatian Sea from Des Monstres et prodiges by Ambroise Pare, 1573. Des Monstres is filled with unsubstantiated accounts of sea devils, marine sows, and monstrous animals with human faces. With its extensive discussion of reproduction and illustrations of birth defects, the book invited accusations of pornography. This being was said to resemble a snail but it had four hooked legs and a multi-coloured tail. It had antlers sprouting from its head with each horn ending in a spherical shape. Its eyes glowed in the dark, and it could be seen at low tide.
