People riding an elephant, 1504. Those seated atop are wielding machetes. This illustrates a widely held belief that Persians and Indians built towers on elephants and used them as a war machines. Saint Francis' affinity with animals may explain the inclusion of this illustration. From a copy of the legend of St. Francis. ID: Harley 3244, fol.39.
