Translation<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerning the tranez.\u00a0<\/strong>The tranez is an animal of of moderately similar appearance to a rabbit, as Pliny says, and although it is small in body, it is stronger in spirit, robust in power and naturally courageous toward battle. Also, in proof of this thing and [its] battle, nature added a helmet to its head, by which its brain and skull is protected, and by which it is also shown clearly that nature the creator in its foresight has supplied an honest and useful thing to each hidden circumstance. This animal is colored red, and is beautiful in its own way.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
