Summary[edit]

File information
Description	Matthew Paris's illustration "A Tartar Feast", for his Chronica Majora, now in the Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, MS 16, folio 167r. Alfred J. Andrea, ed. (2020), The Medieval Record: Sources of Medieval History (2nd revised ed.), Hackett, p. 336, describes the illustration thus: Accompanying the letter is an illustration that has become known as "The Tartar Feast." Matthew was a gifted illustrator as well as a prolific chronicler, and he illuminated his three manuscripts of the Chronica majora with many pen-and-ink line-drawings and maps as well as small colored paintings. The caption on the left within this illustration reads: "The heinous Tartars, or Tattars, feasting on human flesh." The caption on the right informs us: "When Tattar horses, which are most rapacious, lack better pasturage, they are content with the branches and leaves and even the bark of trees." See Andrew Holt's blogpost.
