perplexed as to its woolly coat
Those who knew that the Salamander was a lizard-like animal were indeed
perplexed as to its woolly coat. Thus the Cardinal de Vitry is fain to say
the creature ‘_profert ex cute_ quasi quamdam lanam _de qu?zonae
contextae comburi non possunt igne._’ A Bestiary, published by Cahier and
Martin, says of it: ‘_De lui naist une cose qui n”est ne soie ne lin ne
laine._’ Jerome Cardan looked in vain, he says, for hair on the
Salamander! Albertus Magnus calls the incombustible fibre _pluma
Salamandri_; and accordingly Bold Bauduin de Sebourc finds the Salamander
in the Terrestrial Paradise _a kind of bird covered with the whitest
plumage_; of this he takes some, which he gets woven into a cloth; this he
presents to the Pope, and the Pontiff applies it to the purpose mentioned
in the text, viz. to cover the holy napkin of St. Veronica.
