Description
Leonine Sea Monster from Guillaume Rondelet's Libri de Piscibus Marinis (Book of Marine Fishes), published in 1554. There was a common view that animals found on land had their scaly (and often finned) counterparts below water. Of the 'sea lion' Leonine monster Rondelet writes in Book 16 of his 'Histoire', I have often doubted whether this was a real marine monster. I have been personally assured that one was caught in the sea before the death of Pope Paul III"."
