This manuscript, a Bestiary, was probably made in Lincoln, and was given to Workshop Priory in 1187. According to the Bestiary, mother monkeys love one baby but neglects the other. When she is being hunted, the mother will carry the favourite one in her arms, leaving the other to cling on behind, but when she gets tired she will drop the one from her arms and only the unloved baby will survive.
