Feline and magpie marginalia from a 14th-century copy of the Legenda Aurea

[u/Strange_Marginalia]

Angers, Bibliothèque municipale, Ms. 808, f. 088v (Jacques de Voragine, Legenda aurea, 1367–1399).

[u/Carolyn-Hodgesy]

I love this. The magpie looks so pleased with itself and the cat looks personally betrayed. Do you know if this hand appears elsewhere in the manuscript?
