URDAPILLETA MUNOZ, Marco. The medieval Bestiary in the Indian chronics (century XV and VXI). Latinoamérica [online]. 2014, n.58, pp.237-270. ISSN 2448-6914.

This article studies how medieval bestiary, Bestiarum vocabulum, can be found in the Chronicles of Indias as late as 16th century. From a sample of five chronicles, it was stated that medieval bestiary was not a model or a source for fauna depicting; although numerous similarities are observed because chronic and bestiaries share a vast and widespread network stale even beyond the books.
