Mahan Reading Animals in Medieval Fable 2022 .txt text/plain 219 7 22 Chapters are organized according to several themes: cohabitation between wild animals and humans; human domination of working animals such as dogs and donkeys; and the exploitation of domesticated animals such as sheep and birds for food and other resources.
