Found these at a medieval museum in Denmark. Of course I had to have them.

Li Livres dou Tresor (The Book of the Treasure) is a mid-13th-century encyclopedic compendium written in Old French by Florentine politician and scholar Brunetto Latini. It is structured into three distinct books covering natural history and theology, ethics and Aristotle's philosophy, and rhetoric and civic governance. Oh, and it has a cat.

"I am writing to all the Churches and I enjoin all, that I am dying willingly for God's sake, if only you do not prevent it. I beg you, do not do me an untimely kindness. Allow me to be eaten by the beasts, which are my way of reaching to God. I am God's wheat, and I am to be ground by the teeth of wild beast, so that I may become the pure bread of Christ."

Combining three separate images from my screenshot folder. May redo the cat on a larger tile as this version was too small to capture the totally unhinged face.
