This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page. (December 2007)

This article appears neutral already, although open to misreading. If the first paragraph were reordered, the neutrality might be more obvious. Possibly:

It consisted of descriptions animals, birds, fantastic creatures; sometimes stones and plants, often with moral content. Each animal was described, and an anecdote followed, together with the moral and symbolic qualities of the animal, which were to be imitated or avoided. Some descriptions were meant as Christian allegories, connecting the subject being described with, for example, enticements of the Devil or Christ-like qualities.
