[edit] Summary

Source: Illustration from Japetus Steenstrup's 1854 presentation.

Description: The illustration on the left is by professor Guillaume Rondelet, and on the right by naturalist Pierre Belon, both from the 16th century. At center is an illustration of a squid caught in 1854.

"Could we, given these bits of information of how the Monk was conceived at that time, come so near to it that we could recognize to which of nature's creatures it should most probably be assigned? The Sea Monk is firstly a cephalopod." - Japetus Steenstrup, 1854.
