Bestiary -
I was thinking and in response to Melissa Bestiary blog and how she wondering if in fact people at that time had an easier chance of believing in animals existence based upon how realistic the pictures were. The way I look at it was at that time there weren’t many other sources for these people to get other information on these animals from, unlike today how we could just go on the internet, tv, or go to the library. Because of the fact that they didn’t have these other tools with information I think that they probably belived pretty much everything that they were told, as they had nothing telling them differently.

I think I agree with you. Furthermore, look at how we use the internet and tabloids. We take what they state as truth. If the Star states that so and so broke up it must be true. Or if were feeling ill and look the symptomes we have on the net and they say we have cancer... Then my gosh! We have cancer! So I think, it might have been the same way for them back then.
(I think I contradicted myself from my earlier post... oh well!)
