| Woodcut of a Camphurch 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. Campchurch on the Island of Molucca, which is amphibious, that is to say, living on the water and land, like a crocodile. This animal is of the size of a hind, having one horn on the forehead, mobile, three and a half feet long, as thick as the arm of a man, full of hair around the neck, tending toward the greyish colour. It has two paws like those of a goose, which it uses to swim, and the other two forefeet like those of a stag or a hind, and it lives on fish. There are some who are persuaded that it is a species of Unicorn, and that its horn is very powerful and excellent remedy against poisons.. | |
