Amazons. From "Livre des merveilles du monde" (fol. 5v); written and illuminated in France, probably Angers, ca. 1460. These mythical warrior-women are presented as if they were European noblewomen. They are shown engaged in their legendary behaviors, including mating with men from neighboring tribes and killing all their male offspring. MS. M.461, fol. 5 verso. Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) in 1911.
