Description

Woodcut depicting Amphisbaea Europaea, 2 headed monster. Although it stretched the limits of credulity, Faber included this depiction of a two-headed animal in the Thesaurus, saying he believed anything was possible in God's universe. The Lincean Academy, of which Faber was a member, was generally known for more accurate depictions.
