Br. translates the Latin rhinocerokes by unicornes

$. See Sundby’s remarks (pp. 125-7, ed. Renier) on SG 1, 3. It may be added that Br. has completely misunderstood what Sol. says about the horns of the Asiatic ox. Solinus, expanding Pliny (“ cornua ita in se flexa, ut non sint utilia pugnae ”), observes : cornua ita multiplici flexu in se recurrenia, ut si quis in ea offendit, non vulneretur ”. Br's version of this is : “« lor cornes sont si grans et si votices entor lor testes, que nus ne les puet ferir se sor les cornes non! ”

6. Barrien, Lat. Bactriani. The chapter on the Camel in the Tésoro is much füller.
