This is Meshal haQadmoni<\/i>, a book of animal fables written between 1281-1284 by Yitzhaq ben Shlomo ibn Sahula<\/a>, a Sephardi writer, poet, and Qabbalist from Guadalajara (although this copy was clearly written in Germany at a later date). There\u2019s an English translation of Meshal haQadmoni<\/a> but it\u2019s unfortunately not online\u2026 The first one is labelled\u00a0\u201cThe Bear beheads the Fox,\u201d the second on that page is\u00a0\u201cThe Lion and his friends celebrate, eating and drinking,\u201d etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n
