Description: Cotton Vitellius C. III, folio 40, detail. Anglo-Saxon work. Scorpion and snake fighting. The drawing of the scorpion is good, showing that the artist of the original, from which this was copied, worked in the Mediterranean region. The plant is 'Solago Minor', probably Heliotropium europaeum.
