Animal symbolism in ecclesiastical architecture
A scholarly study of beasts in church carving and ornament, written by the American philologist Edward Payson Evans and published by Henry Holt in New York in 1896 for antiquarians and students of Christian symbolism. Line redrawings copy Romanesque and Gothic capitals, tympana, corbels and misericords, giving hard-outline lions, griffins, sirens, dragons and foliate scrolls plus a cable-moulding border, all usable as stamps or rules.
